Lemon or lime juice

Worcestershire sauce
Sugar
Prepared mustard (optional)
Hot pepper flakes or hot sauce
Salad oil
I never seem to measure salad dressing ingredients, so I can’t tell you how much of each. The first 8 ingredients should be about half the liquid, and the salad oil should be the other half.
Salad 1:
From “Desperations Dinners”: Sliced roast beef, cucumber, mint or cilantro, and greens.
Salad 2 (my version of Thai “Yum Neau”):
Roast beef, beefsteak tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
