Roast beef salad is a healthy dish that uses snow peas and sprouts which aren’t common ingredients for salads. They add more nutrition and bite to this yummy dish. You may put some lemon zest and lemon juice to make it more aromatic.

 

Serves 1

Ingredients:

2-3 slices lean roast beef, cut into strips

1/4 cup snow pea sprouts

6 snow peas

4 asparagus stalks

1slice of wholegrain bread

Iceberg lettuce leaves

For the dressing:

1 teaspoon oil

1 teaspoon unflavored yogurt

3 teaspoons white wine vinegar

1/4 teaspoon mustard

1 teaspoon chopped chives

Salt and pepper to taste

 

Wash the lettuce and sprouts. Dry them using paper towels. Set aside. Next, trim the snow peas and cut the asparagus into bite-sized pieces.

Blanche the snow peas and asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain and then submerge them in ice cold water to keep them crisp.

Meanwhile, prepare the dressing by combining the oil, white wine vinegar, yogurt, mustard and chopped chives in a small bowl. Mix well. Season it with salt and pepper.

Combine the washed greens, roast beef, snow peas and asparagus in a bowl.

After, toast the bread or 2-3 minutes. Cut it into cubes and then place it in the bowl with the vegetables and roast beef. Pour in the prepared dressing and gently toss until well combined. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
