Reuben Salad

I picked up a corned beef and cooked it up in the crock pot. My original plan was to make a Reuben sandwich with it for dinner. By the time it was done and I was ready to have dinner I realized I was more in the mood for a salad. I decided to use the corned beef with Swiss cheese and some rye bread to make this Reuben salad. It came out really good. I’ve been trying to eat more veggies and salads are a great way to do that.

Combine equal amounts of mayo, ketchup and sweet pickle relish. Stir to combine. I like to add capers sometimes, too. Store unused portion in the fridge.
