This salad pairs flank steak that was grilled after soaking in a Balsamic marinade with greens, feta, cucumbers and tomatoes topped with a\u00a0 freshly made honey garlic Balsamic vinaigrette.\u00a0 \u00a0We are talking about a relatively healthy flavor explosion!<\/p>\n

One could definitely argue that when you add flank steak to salad, it’s no longer a “healthy” salad. \u00a0I would not argue with that person. \u00a0Instead, I would take a big bite with a huge smile on my face.<\/p>\n

Because it’s just that good. \u00a0Really.<\/p>\n

\"Balsamic

However, here’s a scenario I have playing in my head: husband wants steak, wife agrees disdainfully. \u00a0Or at least acts like it’s disdainfully, because no one actually DOESN’T want steak. \u00a0You may feel guilty for eating it, or it may be totally off your diet, but let’s be honest, you still want it.<\/p>\n

Anyway, back to scenario. \u00a0Wife agrees, but only if she has it on a salad. \u00a0Husband totally agrees on that – she can have it on a salad, he can have it his way (yes, just like at Burger King). \u00a0Steak is grilled to perfection – mouth-watering juiciness just oozing from it, wife is inside preparing said salad. After the appropriate steak wait time, steak is being sliced thinly.<\/p>\n

While husband goes inside to get his side dishes, wife carefully dishes out the steak, and very very carefully puts more steak on her salad than on his plate. \u00a0She hides it under lettuce, under carrots – any hiding places she can find. \u00a0Husband comes back, none the wiser.<\/p>\n

\"Grilled

Each eat their meal in happy bliss. \u00a0TOTAL fictitious scenario. \u00a0I’m serious. \u00a0I’m not at all saying that’s what happens here…<\/p>\n

…awkward silence…<\/p>\n

Anyway, try this salad. \u00a0I promise it won’t disappoint.\u00a0 This salad is best with a freshly grilled flank steak but using leftover smoked flank steak<\/a> is incredibly awesome.<\/p>\n
