So recently at Megaplex 2018 I had the opportunity to create something that kind of became rapidly known around with the staff. It was my job at the Hospitality suite for creating food for our sponsors as well as creating food for the staff themselves when possible too, often to be delivered as was able to be picked up. As part of this I occasionally got particularly interesting nutritional requests from people, one of these was from one of our bears. He wanted something with no fiber... and thus Meat Salad was born! At first I was told he was on Keto and I made one batch with broccoli, but I was then told later by the same person he kind of messed up and it wasn't Keto but a medical condition and, as such, he really meant basically no raw vegetables and evidently broccoli was probably one of the worst choices I could have made! Having learned that the next day meat salad was truly born!

Now, I personally prefer my meat salad with vegetables but due to wanting to maintain purity to what was done at Megaplex I have created both the original Meat Salad, though I also created a second one with additions and both versions will be listed here. The one on the left is the original, the one on the right is the Meat Salad Plus version with more added to it... Now though, onto the recipes!

Meat Salad

1 lbs. Sliced roast beef
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup mayo (Or greek yogurt, I prefer it actually)
12 slices precooked bacon
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp kosher salt

Chop bacon and roast beef. Combine all ingredients and enjoy! Good in a wrap with vegetables and onions! Also can be put in an eggroll wrapper fried and enjoyed too!


Additions to the Meat Salad...

Added to the base recipe above.

3 green onions, sliced
1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped roasted red peppers
1 cup, chopped finely, baby spinach
2 tsp Trader Joe's green Dragon hot sauce (It's basically a green sriracha sauce)

Mix ingredients into the above meat salad and enjoy! Put into an egg roll wrapper and fry for an extra special treat or chop more finely and put into wontons for a delightfully meaty Asian twist.
