Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup cooked corned beef homemade (see notes after the recipe) or store bought but definitely not the canned variety, cubed
  • 2 to 3 cups salad vegetables cut according to desired size and shape (I used a combination of lettuce, bell peppers, cucumber and tomatoes)
  • ½ cup herbed croutons

For the salad dressing

  • 2 tablespoons mango syrup dilute one tablespoon mango jam with one tablespoon hot water
  • juice of half a lime
  • 1 tablespoon plain yellow mustard
  • 1 generous pinch ginger powder or use grated fresh ginger
  • 4 to 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Make the mango salad dressing

  • In a small bowl, mix together all the salad dressing ingredients.

Toss the salad

  • In a salad bowl, toss together all the salad ingredients with half of the mango salad dressing
  • Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad and serve.

Notes

Having successfully made corned beef at home, I started thinking of endless ways to serve it. Not that it wouldn’t have gotten consumed completely just by slicing and piling between slices of bread. But, you know, I wanted to get more creative than that.
It is very usual to add ham or bacon to vegetable salad. Because salad vegetables are bland, richly flavored components are added. Like tangy salad dressing and salty meat. I wondered if, instead of bacon or ham, homemade corned beef would fare well as a salad ingredient.
So, I cut the corned beef into small cubes, tossed them with salad vegetables and herbed croutons, drizzled in a dressing that would complement the saltiness of the meat and… it was delicious. And I don’t even like vegetable salad. Imagine that.
