INGREDIENT NOTES:

BEEF:

SALAD GREENS:

  • Make use of various salad greens to add nutrition, fiber, and freshness. They can be replaced with romaine lettuce, spinach, kale, or arugula.

CUCUMBER:

  • We use cucumber to add moisture and a cool crunch. Use radishes, zucchini, or celery instead.

CHERRY TOMATOES:

  • Use cherry tomatoes to give this beef salad a pleasant flavor and hue. Roasted red peppers or sliced tomatoes can be used in their place.

RED BELL PEPPER:

  • Red bell peppers are used because of their vivid color and delicious taste. Use carrots, orange bell peppers, or yellow bell peppers instead.

RED ONION:

  • To give a flavorful and pungent taste, use red onion. Shallots, green onions, or sweet onions can be used in their place.

AVOCADO:

  • We use avocado to add healthy fats and a creamy mouthfeel. Using guacamole or olives is an additional choice.

PUMPKIN SEEDS:

  • For extra crunch and nutrition, use pumpkin seeds. Almonds or sunflower seeds could be utilized in their place.

OLIVE OIL:

  • To make a thick and tasty dressing, we use olive oil. Use walnut or avocado oil instead.
