Instructions
 

Summer Steak Salad ( 1 salad )

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

Red Wine & Olive Oil Vinaigrette

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

Charred Corn

  • Heat a bit of oil on high 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 cob to use on salad.
  • One cob should cover 2-3 salads.
