This salad is so easy to prepare and you will definitely love this. Ok it takes some time to marinate but you can easily prepare the beef without marinating for 2 hrs. Just remember the result will be much better if you take the time to let the beef marinate.
You will have most of the ingredients for the marinade in your pantry. You might even use leftover beef from a barbecue.
I have prepared this salad with fresh veggies from our garden. Yummie!
