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!
