Dinner salads, especially ones with a short ingredient list like this salad, are weeknight dinner wins in my book. Aside from pantry staples like salt, pepper, and olive oil, this Steak and Bitter Greens Salad only has six ingredients and is super satisfying. Because if I’m eating a salad for dinner, I’m going to eat A SALAD for dinner.
I’ve been long absent from my blog (over three months to be exact), and I’m using this crazy quarantine time to get started again. I have no real excuse, aside from the fact that I’ve been working two jobs for the last three months — hey, almost the exact same amount of time I’ve been gone, crazy how that lines up — and I just lost my motivation. But I’m back and I have tons of recipes lined up, ready to go!
Anyway, you should definitely make this salad because it completely repurposes steak and potatoes (my two favorite things, to be honest) into a feels-healthier-but-it-might-not-be dinner, perfect for eating on your deck or patio because we can’t really go anywhere right now, can we? This salad recipe uses a few of my other star ingredients, like lemons and Parmesan, to make a super-simple vinaigrette. Bitter greens take a bit to get used to — they are definitely, well, bitter, and that can be off-putting at first. Much like my first forays into arugula, just try them a few times and you may suddenly find yourself developing a taste for them. If not, substitute with mixed greens, or try supplementing with half bitter greens, half mixed greens.
