I was at the food store on yet another sweltering summer day trying to figure out what to make for dinner. All I knew was that I wanted something light but satisfying. So I just started grabbing ingredients that I thought would go well together and viola! Say hello to one of the tastiest salads ever. The best part is you can top this baby with pretty much any protein you like. This time it was flank steak but next time i may get a little crazy and add some lime grilled shrimp! The possibilities are endless!
Dijon Balsamic Marinade
1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 1/2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
Salt and Pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients and marinade flank steak for at least and hour.
Spinach Salad
8oz Fresh Spinach
3 Small Scallions
1/2 Small Fennel (sliced thin)
1 Bosc Pear (sliced thin)
Half a cup of Raw Chopped Walnuts
Handful of Grape Tomatoes
White Balsamic Dressing
1 1/2 Tablespoons White Balsamic Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Combine all ingredients in a mason jar, close the lid and shake shake shake.
Grill flank steak to desired donees, I usually do 6 minutes per side and let the steak rest for 5 minutes. Slice steak against the grain.
Combine all your salad ingredients together in a big mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad, season with salt and pepper and give it a toss. Move salad to a serving dish, add the steak on top and enjoy!!
*Optional add in some feta cheese or shredded parmesan đŸ™‚
I hope you guys enjoy this summer salad!
