This lovely salad was part of my dinner tonight. The only change I made was instead of cubing the meat, I sliced it thin and quickly stir fried it. This dish is a big deal for me cause I've not eaten red meaat for several years now, but had to try this! I serve it with recipe#153974, recipe#11111, and stir-fry long beans.
