  • Slice the grilled steak against the grain into thin strips and add to the mixed greens and vegetables. Toss to combine.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce, and honey until the honey is dissolved.
  • Add the minced garlic, chili flakes, coriander, cumin, ginger, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
  • Slowly pour in the olive oil, whisking constantly, until the dressing is emulsified and well blended.
  • Drizzle the homemade Thai dressing over the salad, and toss to coat evenly.  Divide the salad among four plates and serve immediately.
