Teriyaki Beef Salad is perfect for when you have friends over for lunch or want something light, yet filling to serve for dinner

Teriyaki Beef Salad is one of our favorite go-to recipes when the weather is warm or we only want a light dinner, which can even happen during Winter in Gauteng.

South-Africa has the most wonderful weather in general and I know I have mentioned it before but we really only have about 2 weeks of real cold Winter weather, besides some mornings and late evenings.

Therefore we have salads throughout the year and it is always a welcome dinner idea.

The salad is also perfect to serve for lunch when you have friends over. It is a quick and easy recipe to throw together, either in the morning for lunch or in the afternoon for a light dinner.

A Crusty dinner roll or two per person and you are set. If serving for dinner, I always make an appetizer like my Crumbed Mushrooms and a dessert (which can really be anything) when serving the Teriyaki Beef Salad as a light dinner.

If you prefer Chicken, use that instead of the Beef Steaks – just as tasty !

**Note: I prefer to serve the Lime wedges in a small bowl separate from the salad, but you can also arrange the wedges around the salad on the serving plate.
