When it is too hot to turn on the stove but you still want something hearty, this Tex-Mex beef salad has your back.

Thin strips of deli roast beef soak in a punchy dressing made from picante sauce, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and oregano.

After an hour in the fridge (or up to 12 hours if you are planning ahead), that beef is loaded with flavor and ready to pile on a platter with crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, bell peppers, celery, and red onion.

It comes together in 10 minutes and there is not a single pan to wash.

Chef Tips

  • The longer you marinate, the more flavor the beef absorbs. Overnight gives the best results if you have the time.
  • Use thick-cut deli roast beef, about a quarter inch, so the strips hold up to the dressing without falling apart.
  • Serve the extra dressing on the side so people can drizzle as much or as little as they like.
  • This works great stuffed into a tortilla or scooped up with tortilla chips for a more casual spread.
