Vietnamese beef salad is a great mid-week family meal that’s full of flavour. The dressing has the right balance of spicy, salty, sweet and sour. Once you’ve made the dressing, play around with the flavours to find a balance that you love. This meal is great any time of year and you can switch up the salad options to fit the seasons. It’s also another great lunch option!
