Salad with Cosmic Crisp, roast beef and mustard dressing

2026-06-30 21:31 Cosmic Crisp

This is a balanced salad with a contrast of textures: tender roast beef, crisp apple and a slight tang from the mustard dressing.

It is better to use roast beef medium rare or medium, thinly sliced. The meat should be soft and juicy - then it will contrast with the crunch of the apple.

Cosmic Crisp adds juiciness and a distinct crunch. Its sweetness and delicate acidity balance the meaty flavor of the roast beef and add freshness to the salad. The dense pulp allows you to cut the apple into thin slices - they do not darken quickly and retain their shape.

Warp:

Roast beef is a source of complete protein and iron. Cosmic Crisp adds dietary fiber and organic acids, which refresh the taste and make the dish lighter in feel. Olive oil and nuts provide healthy unsaturated fats, and greens provide vitamins B and K.

Thanks to the crunch of the apple and fresh dressing, the salad turns out to be satisfying, but not heavy - it can be served as a light dinner or a main course without a side dish.

Time and calories

  • Cooking time: 20–25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings
  • Calories: ~320–380 kcal per serving (depending on the amount of butter and nuts)

Ingredients

  • Grainy mustard - 1 tbsp.
  • Olive oil - 2 tbsp.
  • Lemon juice or wine vinegar - 1 tbsp.
  • Honey - 1 tsp. (or Jerusalem artichoke syrup/maple syrup)
  • Salt, pepper - to taste

Preparation

Step 1

  • Remove the roast beef from the refrigerator 10-15 minutes before serving - the meat should be at room temperature, so the taste will be softer and more expressive.
  • Cut Cosmic Crisp into thin slices or crescents.
  • Toast the nuts in a dry frying pan for 2-3 minutes over medium heat until slightly fragrant. Cool and chop coarsely.

Step 2

  • In a small bowl, combine mustard, lemon juice (or vinegar) and honey.
  • Gradually add olive oil, stirring vigorously with a whisk - you should get a homogeneous emulsion.
  • Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

Step 3

  • Place arugula or salad mix on a wide plate.
  • Place roast beef slices on top.
  • Add apple slices, slightly overlapping, to maintain volume and texture.
  • Drizzle with dressing just before serving. Sprinkle with nuts and add thin parmesan flakes.
