Southwest Steak Salad
I love a salad! Like, I could eat one every single day and probably more than once per day. They're so amazing and you can make any type of salad you want! This Southwest Steak Salad was bright, veggie packed, and incredibly satisfying! The flavor on the steak? It was ridiculously good, and the marinade was SO simple! The roasted corn and those fresh peppers really gave that Southwest vibe, with the chipotle lime dressing taking everything to the next level! My husband used to think salads were boring and I've totally converted him! They're now one of our favorite things to eat around here!
