California Beef Salad

This is a wonderful recipe for those times when there is leftover beef in the fridge. Whenever we barbecue beef I plan on this salad to use up leftovers. It isn't a pretty sight, hence no picture, but it is a hearty main dish salad that is very tasty and satisfying. Blessings...

Recipe:

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 tbsps. fresh lemon juice
2 tbsps. sugar
1/4 tsp. dillweed
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
freshly ground pepper to taste
3 cups leftover cold beef, cut into strips
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 head romaine lettuce
