Steak Salad with Spicy Mango Dressing

This is a fantastic lunch – or dinner – salad. It’s quick to make, bright and fresh, and with a hit of protein.

Steak Salad with Spicy Mango Dressing

Dressing:

1 mango

1 thumb ginger

4 cloves garlic

3 Tbsp orange juice

2 Tbsp rice vinegar

1 Tbsp soy sauce

Sprinkle red chili flakes

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 Tbsp sesame oil

2 Tbsp hot & sweet sauce from Indifoods

Juice of 2 limes

Salt & pepper

Salad:

Leftover cooked steak

~ 1/2 c radish, sliced thin

3 small cucumber, sliced into thin half moons

1/3 – 1/2 c frozen peas, thawed

500g baby spinach

In a large bowl, assemble all salad ingredients and toss.

Toss with dressing and serve – I top with my favorite seedy salad topper mix.

Well, that’s a sexy picture of the day. I totally thought I had shot something better than this while out shopping today. This pic was sent to my DH to ask whether either of these guitar cremes would be an acceptable replacement for the lemon oil he was actually looking for. Nope. No they would not. FNAC was a swing and a miss.
