Salad Base

Method

Preparing the Beef

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Once the beef is browned, add soy sauce and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 3

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and shredded carrots. Toss gently to mix.

  2. 4

    Add the Beef

    Top the salad base with the cooked ground beef mixture, spreading it evenly over the salad.

Making the Dressing

  1. 5

    Combine Dressing Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and beef mixture. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
