MINTED BEET SALAD
We have neighbors who share vegetables from their garden, and every year my husband and I look forward to their beets. My interest in Mediterranean food inspired this beet salad recipe-the vinegar and oil dressing with fresh mint will tone down the sweetness of the beets, and the kalamata olives add a salty touch. -Barbara Estabrook, Appleton, Wisconsin

STEAK SALAD WITH FISH SAUCE AND MINT
This salad, with Southeast Asian flair, takes mere minutes to make, even with cooking the beef. Its base is mesclun and a handful of flavorful, mild herbs, like parsley or mint. Because steak doesn't need any seasoning, cooking it takes only 10 minutes. You could substitute chicken, pork or shrimp. The vinaigrette that accompanies this salad is light but assertive, based not on olive oil but on a neutral-flavored oil like canola. I use relatively little oil, as its job is only to help the remaining dressing ingredients coat the greens. To this I add rice vinegar or lime juice, both of which are high in flavor but low in acidity. The vinaigrette is rounded off with mustard, shallots, and nam pla (Thai fish sauce) or soy sauce.

- Let steak rest for a minute before slicing, and then place it atop greens, with its juices. Dress with vinaigrette, and serve.

Steps:
- Start a charcoal or wood fire or preheat a gas grill or broiler; the rack should be about 4 inches from the heat source. Grill or broil the beef until medium-rare, 5 to 10 minutes; set it aside to cool.
- Toss the lettuce with the mint, onion, and cucumber. Combine the remaining ingredients with 1 tablespoon water-the mixture will be thin-and toss the greens with this dressing. Transfer the greens to a platter, reserving the dressing.
- Thinly slice the beef, reserving its juice; combine the juice with the remaining dressing. Lay the slices of beef over the salad, drizzle the dressing over all, and serve.
Tips
- Choose the right cut of beef: For this salad, you'll want to use a tender cut of beef that can be cooked quickly and thinly sliced. Some good options include flank steak, skirt steak, or tenderloin.
- Slice the beef against the grain: This will help the beef stay tender and juicy.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and oil will help it absorb flavor and stay moist.
- Cook the beef over high heat: This will help to develop a nice crust on the outside of the beef while keeping the inside tender.
- Let the beef rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the beef, making it more tender.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as mint, cilantro, and basil, will add a bright and flavorful touch to the salad.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way, so be careful not to overdress the salad, or it will become soggy.
