Steak and Pepper Salad

Categories Easy Recipes, Gluten Free, Healthy Recipes, Main Course, Salad, Side Dish

This steak and pepper salad has such bright and delicious flavors! It’s made up of spring mix, bell peppers, tomatoes, avocado, slivered almonds, feta cheese, and, of course, tender steak! The flavor bomb really explodes with the addition of the easy-to-make dressing, which has cilantro, green onions, orange juice, and red wine vinegar, which gives it a chimichurri-inspired feel.

This salad is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner, where you want the feeling of a full meal but the lightness of a salad. I love a good salad for lunch or dinner, and this one packs plenty of protein to leave you feeling satiated. It’s a favorite at my house and I hope you love it like we do!

Everything can be meal-prepped, and this would make for a great option for meeting your protein macros, also a great option for low carb and high fat diets such as keto because of the avocado.
