Thai Beef Salad

I love Thai food,because i love spicy food. I liked this Thai restaurant called Thai Kitchen (sadly it closed down).  I and my husband always went there at least 2 times a month to eat. He always ordered the same thing and i always ordered different thing every time we went there. One time i ordered Thai beef salad. It was so good,it was spicy,fresh and tangy. After we finished eating,i asked the waitress if she knew the recipe for the dressing. She said she didn't know and would try asking the chef though. When she handed the bill,she told me that the chef didn't want to tell her the complete recipe (of course,duh), she only mentioned soy sauce and fish sauce. Well,i tried to copy their Thai beef salad. Even though mine does not taste exactly like their salad,but i am happy with it. And my husband said i nailed it! Enjoy!
