Note

For best results, use a rare roast beef as it remains tender and flavorful when sliced cold.

A plastic bag works well for marinating as it allows for easy mixing and efficient coverage of the ingredients.

You can add extra vegetables or bean sprouts to the salad for additional crunch and nutrition.

The salad is best served immediately after tossing to maintain the crispness of the greens.
