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.

  3. I love mango, beef and avocado. This is a great idea for a salad bowl! I love the touch of Sriracha to bring all the flavours together 🙂

  4. This looks like a great summer salad, Cathy! I love combining sweet and savory, like the mango and beef. And avocado just goes with everything. 😉

  7. Hi 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

  11. What 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!

  14. yum! I love using mango in my salad and it sounds epic with the beef and avocado! Thanks for sharing Cathy!

  15. Lovely, Cathy! I look for main dish salads like your Beef Salad with Mango and Avocado and the fact that it is grain free, dairy free and gluten free is wonderful to add to my recipe repertoire. Thanks so much for sharing with us!

  16. That dressing sounds amazing!!! I bet it’s really yummy with the mango and creamy avocado.
