Beef Blueberry & Feta Salad
Easy
Sharon Hearne Smith The No Cook Cookbook. Combining beef and blueberries in a salad might sound unusual, but they make a surprisingly happy couple. The vinegar in the dressing cuts through the sweetness of the fruit, while the distinctive taste of feta pulls everything together. Try to source good-quality beef slices that are nice and pink – the meat in the photo is spiced beef. Speaking of happy couples, this is a great starter for a romantic meal or dinner party – just increase the quantities if you’ve got guests. If not eating straight away, keep the dressing separate until ready to serve.
