If you’re looking to take your salad game to the next level, you’ve come to the right place. This bright Larb recipe is packed with flavor and will immediately become your new favorite. If you’re not familiar with Larb, get excited—it’s a game-changer. Larb is considered a traditional meat salad with origins in Laos and is also quite popular in Thailand. This particular Impossible Larb recipe is a wildly delicious mix of fresh, bright flavors, fresh herbs and spices, and a squeeze of lime for added acidity. This is a dish that makes you feel like you’re traveling through Southeast Asia and you get to enjoy it from the comfort of your own home, without the use of meat made from cows.
Our Impossible Larb recipe is a perfect, easy weeknight dinner; it whips up in a flash and is a guilt-free indulgence. This dish is plated on a bed of lettuce and is surprisingly filling. Larb is traditionally made using a number of different meats. Impossible™ Beef Made From Plants makes for a great base protein because it crumbles and browns perfectly, acting as a complement to the crispiness of the lettuce and onions, while taking on the light sweetness of the coconut oil it’s cooked in.
Our Impossible Larb is a feast for the eyes, too—pulling together bright and beautiful colors on your plate. If you’re cooking with kids in the kitchen, they can help add the meat mixture to the lettuce cups (if you choose to use the lettuce) or garnish the dish with mint and cilantro at the end. The perfect way to keep the kiddos involved in meal prep!
