No Cook Thai Beef Salad

There are definitely some days where I am in the mood to eat, but I don't want something heavy, or I feel like I have eaten too much during the day and want something light, but with substance. I actually do crave salads (i know, so weird!) but i know that a simple just vegetable salad is really not going to do anything for me. I found this recipe at Delish and thought that I'd share it. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks really good and really simple to make as well.
