What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Clean Eating: Caesar Cilantro Steak Salad! Salads can be a good thing or a sinkhole of weight-gain. If you’ve ever gone through a salad bar, you know exactly what I’m talking about. When thinking of lettuce or greens, begin small, as in “fewer”. Otherwise, in the process of adding ingredients, suddenly what started out as a manageable portion can transform into an enormous bowl-of-plenty. Trust me, I know. Sometimes I get so carried away, my husband has to dump everything into a larger bowl just to toss the salad. And it really doesn’t do me any good to start fresh with the larger bowl because…well, I think you’ve got me figured out. Creature of habit.
CAESAR CILANTRO STEAK SALAD
Ingredients:
2 cups lettuce leaves, gently torn
1 Roma tomato, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
6 ounces grilled steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons Caesar dressing, bottled
2 teaspoons parmesan cheese, grated
1/8 teaspoon oregano
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Cilantro leaves, for garnish
Instructions:
Begin with two salad plates. Divide the lettuce between them. Arrange tomato chunks and chopped green onions over top. Warm the grilled steak in the microwave for 30 seconds on 50% power. Repeat, if necessary. Divide steak between the two salads. Drizzle with Caesar salad dressing. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, oregano, and sea salt. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
This looks freakin’ good!!!!!

That’s what my husband says! He likes to “toss” his salad, and I like to “dip” everything in a side of dressing. 🤣🍃🥗
