Taiwanese Beef Salad
"This was printed in the newspaper and won honorable mention in the 1997 National Beef Cookoff. It is DELICIOUS!!! This is a terrific meat salad to serve guest in the summertime. It's also easy to prepare.
Cooks Notes:
Good Seasons Italian dressing is superior to most other italian dressings and the only Italian dressing I use (it's the kind you mix in a cruet with oil, water, and vinegar).
Ginger may be frozen and grated as needed."

This salad is terrific! So flavorful and so easy, ready in minutes. I made as directed with beef but I'm sure chicken, or even shrimp, would be great as well. Thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for Fall PAC 2012

I'm a stay at home mom with 4 children. I love discovering great recipes and cooking techniques. Since my 4 children have recently gotten out of the preschool years, I have taken more time to catalog and organize my recipe collection. I appreciate all the wonderful recipes I have found here and the effort to input them. My family and I appreciate the good food that has become part of what we regularly enjoy eating.
Besides cooking and taking care of my children and family, I love reading and playing piano. I also love classical guitar, and as my kids grow older, I would like to devote time to learning to play better (I'm really just a beginner). The arts bring me a lot of joy (music, visual, performance, literary, culinary). I also find joy in the beauty that is in the world and nature... I'm fortunate to live close to the beautiful Wasatch Mountains and not too far from many beautiful national parks in the state of Utah.
I feel we have a responsibility to reach out and help others, and as a follower of Jesus Christ, I hope to make a positive contribution to my family, local church congregation, neighborhood, community, and to worthy causes that inspire me. I find that many charitable organizations are not giving enough to help the less fortunate or to whatever is their cuase, but I really like The Smile Train, and the programs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints which are mostly run by volunteers (main humanitarian missions... eyeglasses, clean water , Neonatal Resuscitation, Emergency Response, Wheelchairs, Food Production, and Immunizations).
I am very thankful for a good and abundant life and am sad for the great suffering that many people endure in life. I believe in an Eternal equalization or fixing of injustice, and I look forward to the day God will surely make everything right.
