Recipe for Salad With Roast Beef

Turn leftover pot roast into creamy Roast Beef Salad that's perfect for sandwich fillings or a fancy cracker spread. Ready in under 5 minutes!

I make a roast with potatoes about once a month just so I can have the beef leftovers for this recipe.

It's a little bit sweet from the pickle relish and salad dressing so it pairs perfectly with salty crackers. It's also a perfect filling for a beef salad sandwich like your grandma used to make.

I have also been known to cook an entire roast just for this to serve as an appetizer spread for cocktail parties. People always ask where I bought it.

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Grind or finely mince 2 cups of leftover roast and 1 tablespoon of diced onion and place into mixing bowl. Also, grind or finely mince the sweet pickles now if using as a substitute. (Photo 1)
2. Add 1/2 cup of salad dressing, like Miracle Whip, and 1 tablespoon of sweet pickle relish. (Photo 2)
3. Mix to combine. Additional salad dressing can be added 1 tablespoon at a time if you want a wetter spread. (Photo 3)
4. Taste it then add salt and ground pepper as needed.

Substitutes

Salad Dressing – I prefer mine a little on the sweeter side so I use, Miracle Whip. You can swap this out with mayonnaise. Anytime I use mayonnaise I always add a bit more relish or some sweet pickle juice.

Relish – You can also substitute this with a sweet pickle or two. Dice those up and grind them with the beef and diced onion. You'll also want to add about a teaspoon of sweet pickle juice when adding the other ingredients.

Tips For Success

• Using a food processor or grinder are the simplest ways to grind your leftover roast.
• If you don't have a processor or grinder, use a sharp knife to finely chop the beef.
• Add more salad dressing 1 tablespoon at a time if you want it "wetter".

Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

I don't recommend freezing because of the salad dressing, or mayonnaise. Those just don't freeze well.
