PINEAPPLE SALAD
This refreshing salad has a mildly tangy dressing that would complement most any entree. After enjoying a similar salad at a restaurant, I tried to re-create it at home. Adding sliced grilled chicken makes it a meal in itself.-Vickie Madrigal, Shreveport, Louisiana

VIETNAMESE-STYLE BEEF SALAD
Steps:
- Halve cucumber lengthwise, then slice diagonally 1/4 inch thick.
- Stir together lime juice, water, fish sauce, sugar, red-pepper flakes, and shallot in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved.
- Arrange pineapple and cucumber on a platter and drizzle with some of dressing. Drape roast beef slices on top and arrange mint alongside. Serve with remaining dressing on the side.
Tips:
- Use ripe pineapple for the best flavor. A ripe pineapple will have a sweet and juicy taste, while an unripe pineapple will be more sour and tart.
- Choose a lean cut of beef for this salad. A lean cut of beef will have less fat and calories, and it will also be more tender.
- Slice the beef thinly against the grain. This will help the beef to cook evenly and quickly.
- Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to tenderize the beef and add flavor.
- Cook the beef over high heat until it is browned on all sides. This will help to seal in the juices and prevent the beef from becoming dry.
- Add the pineapple, mandarin oranges, and dressing to the cooked beef and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
