Ingredients

Summer Steak Salad ( 1 salad )

  • 2 cups lettuce mix
  • 4 oz slices of grilled steak
  • 1/4 cup charred corn kernels (see below)
  • 1 piece chopped cooked bacon
  • 3-4 slices of avocado
  • 1-2 tbsp gorgonzola or bleu cheese crumbles
  • 6-7 heirloom cherry tomatoes
  • slices of red onion (optional)
  • red wine and olive oil vinaigrette (see below)

Red Wine & Olive Oil Vinaigrette

  • 1 envelope of Good Seasons Italian Dressing mix (.7 oz)
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 tbsps. water
  • 2 tsps. honey

Instructions

Summer Steak Salad ( 1 salad )

  • Assemble lettuce, steak slices, bacon bits, corn, avocado, gorgonzola, tomatoes, and onion on a plate as desired.
  • Serve with vinaigrette.

Red Wine & Olive Oil Vinaigrette

  • Combine red wine vinegar, olive oil, water, honey, and the mix packet in a jar.
  • Close the lid and shake well.
  • Ready to serve. Store in fridge.

Charred Corn

  • Heat a bit of oil over high heat in a skillet. I like to reserve a little of the bacon fat for this after cooking bacon.
  • Put in a clean cob of corn (peeled) into the pan and cook on each side for a minute or two until browned.
  • Remove and cut kernels off the cob to use on salad.
  • One cob should cover 2-3 salads.
