This entree salad is ready to serve in just minutes thanks to the convenience of ready-to-use packaged salad greens, quick stir-fried beef and a simple, freshly made dressing. If you want to save even more time, use your favorite bottled dressing instead. Serve with warm, crusty sourdough rolls and a refreshing glass of iced tea or lemonade for an easy light supper, especially during the dog days of summer!
