Creamy Roast Beef Salad
"This is my Mom's recipe and is one of the first recipes I took with me when I left home. I had never seen a salad anything like this before and I absolutely loved it. It makes a great sandwich or it can be eaten plain. It is great for a casual lunch with friends. Enjoy! (Time does not include chill time)."

Sometimes simplicity is best, and this is one of those times! I made this a while back and it's one of those old recipes that can't be improved upon, it's excellent. I made as posted with reduced fat sour cream - thanks for posting, MamaJ, I love it! -
This was excellent. Unfortunately, my meat is "aging" and it was a tough roast (cooked it waaaay too long), so next time, I will use a "young" roast that's not overdone. I followed the recipe precisely as written, and will do so again. I think a roast will be totally dedicated to this salad, and not just a way to use left over meat. Thanks -
MamaJ, this is delicious!! I used for sandwiches. Just love using leftovers for a meal and this will go into my collection. I used sour cream with chives and omitted the red onion. And b/c DH does not like horseradish I used mustard instead. Thanks MamaJ for sharing. Made for ZWT4. -
I made this with leftover pot roast and it was so good that I would actually make a roast just to make this salad-very good on crackers. -
I made this up at about noon yesterday and served it up for a lunch/snack break today for the 3 guys putting a new motor in our truck. I gave them toasted bread 1/2's to spread it on and a fresh pot of hot coffee. There was nothing left when they went back to work. I mean that I almost didn't have to wash the dish! I swear that somebody wiped the dish with a finger. I whizzed it up in the food processor and it really was done in 5 mins. I didn't have red onion but none of them complained that it was white. I think I'll make roasts next summer just to be able to make this up. Mine looked exactly like the photo by Mika G. Thanks MamaJ.

I am the mother of four boys--two sons and two stepsons. I am also the grandmother of one very sweet and precocious 3 yr old boy. I was once a healthcare administrator but quit a few years ago to stay home with my youngest. Since he has started to school, I am back to working part time.
<br> Next to my family, cooking is my passion. I have a wonderful husband who will try anything. He is my biggest fan and a discerning critic. A couple of years ago, we started a dinner club with friends who enjoy our passion for good food. We have shared many wonderful meals together.
<br> My favorite cookbook would have to be a family cookbook that my mom and cousin and I put together a couple of years ago. We shared all the favorites that had been passed down through the generations as well as new favorites.
<br> My biggest pet peeve is picky eaters who refuse to try anything new. It bothers me more with adults than with kids, but I love that my six year old will eat just about anything I put in front of him. There is something very gratifying about "grooming" the next generation of foodies.
