"Tangy" Beef & Watercress Salad

"This recipe is a variation on the traditional Vietnamese beef and watercress salad, which is called "Dancing Beef;. Only instead of cutting the beef into small cubes, I prefer to cut the beef into thin strips. The eggs and tomatoes add vibrant color and taste as well as makes it look that much more appetizing. Only this time, we decided to try it with some new Mama Tang's Asian Vinaigrette. All I can say is it was the perfect finish to a great tasting salad! Not only did it give this dish a "tangy" flavor that is reminiscent of the authentic Vietnamese dish itself, but it was much more flavorful! I highly recommend you try this the next time you have a craving for beef and would like a salad as a meal."
