Recipe: Spicy beef & cucumber salad with cashew raita
"One day I had some leftover minced beef and I wanted to make something a little different. I felt like a salad and happened to have some mint and cucumbers in the house. One thing lead to another and I ended up creating a warm beef salad inspired by Middle Eastern flavours. I love this dish because it’s an all-in-one meal – it has protein, healthy fats, some carbs, lots of flavours and it’s not too expensive. It’s pretty low-carb but very satiating and is 100% gluten, grain and dairy free (Whole30 friendly too)...."
