Thai Beef Salad with Prawns
Make on FrescoThis may look a little daunting on at first because of the ingredient list, but don’t be put off…it is impressive without the stressive. Just whizz up this stunning dressing, a little bit of careful knife work and you could even BBQ the surf and turf…voila, summer dining at its very simplest. A one dish wonder of modern cookery. No Thermomix required if we get real about it, though it does whizz up that dressing in 10 seconds...Enjoy.
