Healthy Steak Salad

You might have read my recent post on 7 Ways to Spice Up Your Salad. This Healthy Steak Salad uses a bunch of different ingredients I listed there, to create this delicious and interesting lunch or dinner.

This healthy steak salad is a perfectly light dinner for a hot Summer’s evening. I also often have this if I am not feeling too hungry in the evening. Plus, it means you´ll have space for some dessert! Maybe you could try these delicious chocolate éclairs?

For another Summer recipe, why not give these BBQ lamb kebabs a try?

Adding some tomatoes, red pepper, cucumber, spring onions, avocado and corn to the round leaf lettuce gives it a little extra crunch! For the meat component of this salad I chose a lean, marinated pork steak.
