Salads might be my new favorite thing. I know I said before that they were too much work, but I might be changing my tune. Turns out I just wasn’t making the right kinds of salads. While this one did have a seemingly long list of ingredients, it went together really quickly, and was oh my gosh, so delicious! I don’t think I’ve ever really stuffed my face with salad before, but I definitely scarfed this one down.
I know it doesn’t really look all that impressive – just some lettuce, beef and mango. But the flavors hidden inside here are awesome! Ginger, Garlic, Mint, Cilantro, Green Onions, Mango, and Peanut Butter! Seriously. Seriously. And not only was this salad delicious, but it was a big enough plate that I was actually satisfied and not starving 15 minutes later. I know, full, from a salad. Craziness.
