Beef Salad

I fell in love with this Beef Salad when my friend brought this over to a party that I organised.  Thinking about this dish, reminded me so much of our stay in Seletar Airbase.  Such idyllic environment that my kids can roam around barefooted.  My neighbours are so friendly that we don't even lock our gates.  One of them, even broke off his lock to open up the side gate that connects our two houses.  Really miss those wonderful time we had there. 

Anyway, whenever I cook this, this beautiful memory floods back.

Findings: This dish is an awesome dish to bring to a party as it allows you to prepare early.  No stress at all.  Yet it tasted soooooo delicious.
