Black Rice and Beef Salad with a creamy green dressing

This salad packs a punch and is completely satisfying to eat. I have been on a mad quest lately to send my man away with a packed lunch everyday - to help save money and to sneaky help him lose some of his baby weight ! haha ( terrible I know, Im so mean! )

So a mans salad has to be satisfying and TICK, this one has done the job with the plus of being incredibly good for you. I made this salad one night for dinner and then the left overs feed him for the next couple of days. This is another tip for the packed lunches ; to make it easier for yourself cook bulk or you will forever feel like your slaving away in the kitchen.
