Leftover Roast Beef
Have you ever cooked a roast of beef with meat for days and then wondered what to do with the leftovers? I’ve certainly been there – many times! Now, I’ve found the answer! In fact, I’ll be wanting leftovers, so I can make this salad. From now on, I’ll be sure to have mango and avocado on hand when I’m cooking a roast.
Did you get to try the Instant Pot Beef Roast? If you don’t have an Instant Pot, no worries. The Gluten Free Spice Mix will work great on any roast beef, however you may cook it. This beef salad is a clever way to use the leftovers!
Not only is using leftover cooked meat in a salad effective meal planning, but also the seasoning on the beef spices up this one nicely. In fact, if you don’t have leftover Instant Pot Beef Roast with Gluten Free Spice Mix on hand, you might want to add a little extra seasoning to your salad.

Advance Preparation for Beef Salad
If you’d like to do some advance preparation for the beef salad, you can make the dressing up to a couple days ahead. The other ingredients can be prepared earlier in the day, with the exception of the avocado. Everything should be tossed together just before serving. Cut the avocado just before tossing, so it doesn’t turn brown.

Cathy says
May 29, 2018 at 7:02 amI used to have a recipe that combined peaches with beef, so I thought why not mango!

May 29, 2018 at 9:06 amWhat a fantastically easy meal! Especially to use leftover roast… genius! I love meals that transform leftovers like this!
Cathy says

May 29, 2018 at 9:13 amHi Cathy, I have never made a roast beef in my life, so there won’t be leftovers, but I can see using another protein to make this work. Great idea and I especially like the dressing. I have to avoid acids as much as possible so most salad dressings have been a no-no and I really miss them. I’d say 3 TB of cider vinegar in a 1/2 cup of oil is going to be no problem at all. Can’t wait to make this! Diane from Kitchen Bliss
Cathy says
May 29, 2018 at 9:32 amI would be thrilled if the salad dressing would work for you!

Cathy says
May 29, 2018 at 5:28 pmThere is! It often is, but check the label carefully.

May 29, 2018 at 9:40 pmWhat is this thing called “leftovers” that you are speaking of? LOL. With four hungry young adults/teens in my home, I have to hide our roast beef to try this!
Cathy says
May 30, 2018 at 6:55 amHa, ha! Maybe a really big roast?

May 30, 2018 at 5:17 amI love using up leftover protein in my salads, and this beef sounds like the perfect pairing with the avocado and mango!
Cathy says
May 30, 2018 at 6:56 amI like that leftover protein doesn’t have to be reheated to be used in a salad.
