No-Cook Roast Beef Salad With Goat Cheese and Balsamic

Submitted by CHEFDLH

"This recipe comes from REAL SIMPLE magazine Aug 2009 and is in their no cook section for the month. This salad is simple yet tasty. My guests gobbled it up and my family loved it. I use the dressing on other salads now too. It also can be used on sandwiches and as a marinade. Enjoy! ChefDLH"

Thoroughly enjoyed this salad for dinner. I used leftover steak, thinly sliced, and also added a pinch of sugar to the dressing. Thanks for posting.

Perfect for a light meal! The dressing is a wonderful match for the salad ingredients. I added a pinch of sugar to the dressing, but otherwise stuck to the recipe. Leftover steak (cut into strips) would work well, if you had no deli beef. Thanx for an awesome salad!!!
