Leftover Roast Beef Spicy Salad

KitchenManiac's Note:

Had way too much of roast beef one time, and whipped this salad up to make up for the amount of meat I had consumed, and the lack of vegetables in a diet. It worked so well, I have started making extra roast beef, just so that I could have heaps of leftovers for this wonderful salad.

One of our favorites - I was pleasantly surprised by the unusual dressing. Very light and the flavor complements the beef perfectly. There aren't many recipes I keep coming back to (I like trying new ones), but this has become one of our summer staples. Left-over steak works well in this too.

didn't use it for leftover beef. i was looking for a thai flavoured sauce for my prawn & pomelo salad but didn't want the hassle of a fussy recipe. it works great! my family said it was yummy!
