Ingredients

Strawberry and Cucumber Dressing

  • 3 cups strawberries
    (1 and ½ cups for dressing and 1 and ½ cups for slices in salad)
  • 1 cucumber
    peeled and chopped and seeds removed
  • 1 tablespoon shallot
    peeled and minced
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup water
    or as needed so food processor pulses
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • ¼ cup lime juice or to taste
  • salt and pepper
    to taste
  • 2 tablespoon cilantro
    (coriander)fresh chopped

Salad Fixings

  • 3 cup romaine lettuce
    washed and chopped (or any greens you like)
  • ¾ cup edamame beans
    cooked and shelled
  • 8 oz flank steak
    (I used left over steak but can also use salmon, chicken, turkey, shrimp or even tofu)
  • cup almonds roughly chopped (optional but I like something a little crunchy in my salad)

Instructions

  • Make the strawberry and cucumber salad dressing: Add the following items into your food processor...1 and ½ cups strawberries (save the other half for sliced strawberries in your salad), cucumber, shallot, olive oil, water, lime zest, lime, cilantro and salt and pepper to taste. Pulse the food processor until the ingredients are smooth, you may have to occasionally scrape down the sides of the food processor. Set aside.
  • Assemble the salad:  In 2 large plates or bowls add your chopped lettuce, edamame beans, sliced cold or warm flank steak (your choice). Drizzle your seared steak salad with the delicious strawberry and cucumber salad dressing, sprinkle with roughly chopped almonds and enjoy.

Notes

Feel free to exchange the steak with other proteins of choice such as grilled salmon, chicken , tofu, etc.
