Notes
📋 How to Make It
- Prepare all ingredients: chop onions, tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl.
- If using Ground beef, cook or prepare it separately — grill, pan-sear, or use pre-cooked — then slice and set aside.
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the dressing ingredients (oil, acid, seasoning) until emulsified.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
- Taste, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and serve immediately or chill for up to 30 minutes for deeper flavour.
