Execution
Prepare the Steak:Season the steak: with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.
Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper until well combined.
Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the salad greens, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Top with sliced steak.
Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle the lime dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together. Serve immediately and enjoy the zesty, fresh flavors!
Additional tips
- Rest the steak: Allow the steak to rest after grilling to lock in its juices and enhance flavor.
- Avocado tip: Use ripe but firm avocados for the perfect creamy texture that holds well in the salad.
- Customize: Feel free to add extras like crumbled feta, roasted corn, or cilantro for added flavor and texture.
