Ingredients

Salad

  • 4 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1/2 cup sliced seedless cucumber
  • 1/3 cup sliced red onion, separated into rings
  • 2 medium tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into thin bite-sized strips
  • 1 (9-oz.) pkg. frozen cooked seasoned beef strips, thawed

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Steps

  • 1
    In large bowl, combine all salad ingredients except beef strips.
  • 2
    In small bowl, combine all dressing ingredients; mix well.
  • 3
    Pour dressing over salad; toss gently to coat. Divide salad evenly onto individual serving plates. Top each evenly with beef strips.

  • This salad works great with leftover grilled or broiled steak. Just slice thinly across the grain. You can also use roast beef from the deli. Don’t have white balsamic vinegar? Any vinegar can be used—try dark balsamic, distilled white or cider vinegar. If you’re short on time or ingredients, use your favorite purchased vinaigrette dressing.
