Summer Balsamic Steak Salad

Summer Balsamic Steak Salad

This salad is the perfect summer meal. I always love making large salads and serve them for dinner during the warmer months.

It’s packed with healthy veggies which is a bonus!

It’s really easy to customize and make your own based on veggies and ingredients that you prefer over others. That’s the best part about large salads – nothing is off limits!

In this recipe, I used a 2 pound flank steak. I grilled it for 3 minutes and 30 seconds on each side. This will cook the steak to medium rare. If you’d like your steak more cooked, add 30-45 more seconds per side. Keep in mind, the steak will continue to cook when resting.

I hope you enjoy this salad as much as we do in our house!
