Steak salad

In summer, everything tastes better on the grill. So when craving beef, it is only natural to want to grill a steak. I don't have pictures of them, but I wish I did. Because I came home to a pound and a half steak that was bigger than my head! That's what I get for letting my manly man boyfriend plan dinner. So there was a sizable chunk left (of mine anyways) for the next day. Since we had also bought a head of romaine and I work on a farm, a salad with steak on top worked wonderfully. The farm I work on had radishes by the truckload, and some wild leafy greens that I had harvested 2 days before. Add to it the last leftovers of a veggie tray from a Memorial Day cookout, and a beautiful salad took shape.
Ingredients:
4 oz steak
2 cups torn romaine
1/2 cup leafy greens
1/2 cup baby carrots
2 radishes, sliced
Handful broccoli florets
Balsamic vinaigrette
Put all the vegetables on top of the greens, microwave the steak slices for a minute and top with 2 tbsp. balsamic vinaigrette. Tasty and super healthy! Of course, you don't need the steak on top if you're vegetarian or vegan. You can also use any other kind of grilled meat if you're into that. =)
