Laab - Thai Ground Beef Salad image

Wonderful fast summer or anytime meal that comes together quickly once you have your ingredients prepped. Mise en place very helpful with this dish. From Taste of Thai - thank you! Use a nice butter lettuce for this - core the head & rinse the leaves well. Dry & have plenty available - use 2 heads if they seem small - 1 per serving! I entered 12 leaves simply because the program required a number - we just keep a couple of heads available when we make this.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this laab salad was surprisingly mild. The flavors were well-balanced, and the beef was very tender. I served it with cucumber slices and sticky rice, and it was a delicious meal.

I'm not a big fan of coriander, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm glad I did! The coriander flavor is subtle, and it really complements the other flavors in the salad. I will definitely be making this again.
