I intend to keep this recipe nearby, because it's easy, quick and very tasty. <br /> <br />Thinly-sliced roast beef from the deli and packaged euro-greens from the produce market. I used fresh tomatoes and fresh bean sprouts, and I think they were better than the canned products would have been. I have fresh basil growing just outside the kitchen window. One lemon provided both the zest and juice needed, and I grated one "thumb" of ginger into the dressing. <br /> <br />Really fresh-tasting and refreshing as a summer salad. I'll serve it to guests, because the salad and dressing can be made in advance, and combined at the last moment for an easy meal.
