- 250 g Prime Beef Mince
- 1 Tbsp olive oil

1. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and stir onion and garlic over a moderate heat until browned. Add minced beef and cook for a further 10 to 15 minutes until beef is crispy. Place the meat mixture onto a paper towel to absorb any excess fat while you prepare salad greens and dressing.
2. For dressing, mix all the ingredients together in a sealed glass jar and shake well.
3. Arrange the salad mixture on a serving platter using the minced beef for the topping. Pour over the dressing and garnish with fresh coriander and mint leaves.
Tips:
- Wait for the beef to cool before adding it to the salad leave to avoid a soggy salad!
