Simply reading this recipe will make you ask for seconds. Ready in under 20 minutes, this salad is complete with rich grilled sirloin, fresh tomatoes, roasted red pepper and a homemade balsamic vinaigrette. The hearty 2-cup serving is generous enough for dinner but perfect for lunch as well. Letting the steak rest while you toss the salad lets the juices in the steak settle to keep the slices moist when they are cut. Try this salad topped with grilled chicken or some steamed shrimp for easy variations. The Italian balsamic vinaigrette is classic and great for many applications. Make a double batch and keep up to a week covered in the fridge.
