Vegetable Chef's Salad with Beef and 10-Ingredient Dressing

2 servings

20 minutes

Vegetable chef salad with beef is a harmony of freshness and rich flavor. European cuisine has absorbed the traditions of using tender meat and fresh vegetables, creating dishes that amaze with balance and richness. Beef tenderloin sautéed in olive oil pairs with crispy lettuce leaves, juicy cherry tomatoes, and sweet peppers. The ten-ingredient dressing is a true culinary masterpiece: minty freshness, the tang of lime and lemon, a hint of ginger and garlic spiciness, along with rich flavor notes of honey, mustard, and soy sauces. This salad is perfect for a festive dinner or light lunch where every detail—from the texture of the meat to the aroma of the dressing—is crafted to perfection.
