This easy LOW CARB Steak Salad is packed with veggies, juicy Flank Steak and drizzled with a flavorful homemade Cilantro Avocado Dressing! In just 15 minutes, you will have a healthy, low calorie salad to enjoy!
Now that the holiday feasts have come and gone, I wanted to get back to eating healthier. With all the mashed potatoes and desserts I consumed over the past month, I was really craving a salad for dinner.
I happened to see that the Flank Steak was on special at our local grocery store. So I picked up a few green and orange peppers and intended on grilling the steak with a side of sautéed veggies.
It rarely rains in Southern California, but of course it happened the night we wanted to grill out. Go figure. So I had to improvise with what to do about dinner.
Whalla! A tasty, beautiful Steak Salad with Homemade Cilantro Avocado Dressing was created!
This salad was delicious.
The Cilantro Avocado dressing was the perfect compliment to the steak and veggies. It’s a keeper! Next time, I think I’ll try it out over a chicken salad and compare. 😉

Hi Heather, I made this salad with lamb some time back for friends who are eating Keto. They loved it and in fact my friend mentioned it to me again the other day saying how wonderful the dressing was. I’m making it again tonight with steak and noticed I hadn’t left a comment last time. Just wanted to say thanks for the recipe and how much we enjoyed it.

Tried half with steak and half with chicken. They are both good.
