Steak Salad with Cilantro Avocado Dressing

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. 😉
