Steak and Salad
Hubby and I started doing meal planning about a month ago. I haven’t posted our weekly meal plans, but maybe I’ll start doing that… I like adding tried and true recipes that are easy and healthy. This is one of those recipes.
We eat salad almost every night with dinner. This is our favorite. One night we had some steak in the freezer that I wanted to use up so I grilled it and served it with salad. Then I started taking bites of them together and this meal was created.
Super Steak Salad (by ME!) – 8 WW pts – makes 3 servings
1 bag of spring mixed greens
1 granny smith apple – chopped
3 Tbsp of sliced almonds
1/8 cup dried cranberries
1 oz Goat Cheese
6 Tbsp Trader Joe’s Italian Dressing
12 oz lean steak
Mix all ingredients except steak in a box and mix (I like to put in a Tupperware bowl, put lid on and shake until all mixed up).
Grill steak to your preference. Top salad with steak and serve!

You probably saved a few calories too, by subbing the ham for shrimp! This looks amazing and I love the Mexican flavors.

This is definitely a little bit lighter than a normal cobb salad.
I love this take on a cobb salad. The flavors all sound so fresh and bright!
