This salad is perfect for using up leftover beef. The dressing is so versatile, make a batch as it will work with chicken, fish, duck or drizzled over any green veg.

Mix and match the veggies in the salad depending on what you have in the fridge. You can omit the beansprouts or noodles and serve with rice instead.

  1. Put all the dressing ingredients into a clean jam jar and give it a good shake.
  2. Cut off any obvious fat from the beef and slice it into 1cm strips. Place the beef in a bowl and pour over half of the dressing. Leave to marinade for 5 minutes whilst you cook the noodles and vegetables.
  3. Cook the noodles according to packet instructions. Add the green veg to simmering salted water and cook for 2-3 minutes. Drain.
  4. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and toss with the remaining dressing.
