Thai Style Larb Salad

This was such a yummy, LOW CARB dinner! I always love Thai food and this is a fun twist on Larb (Minced meat salad from Laos and Thailand). It's healthy, easy and the perfect fresh dinner dish on a summer day. Adapted from this recipe.

Salty Peanuts, creamy avocado and zesty dressing make this salad appetizing and filling.

Salad
1 lb. Ground Turkey
1/4 Red Onion, Finely Chopped
5 Garlic Cloves, Minced
Salt
Pepper
Red Chili Flakes
2 Tbsp. Coconut Oil
1/3 C. Fresh Mint, Chopped
1/3 C. Fresh Cilantro, Chopped
1 Head of Romaine Lettuce, Chopped
1 Avocado, Sliced
1/2 Cucumber, Chopped
1/2 C. Peanuts, Chopped

Dressing
2 Limes, Juiced
3 Tbsp. Fish Sauce
1 Tbsp. Agave Nectar
2 Tbsp. Sriracha

In a small bowl, combine ingredients for dressing and set aside. In a bowl, combine the turkey, onions and garlic. Heat coconut oil and add the turkey mixture. Season with salt, pepper and chili flakes. Sauté until thoroughly cooked, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and add half of the dressing and stir. Once the meat has cooled a bit, stir in the mint and cilantro. Serve on a bed of lettuce with avocado and cucumber, sprinkled with peanuts and more dressing as desired.
Serves 4.

This meal took about 25 minutes to make...from chopping to serving, that's a quick turnaround! Such a light meal, you don't feel guilty for having seconds on dessert later(which I totally did).

Enjoy,
