Gingery Grilled Avocado and Steak Salad

I’m sure you guys have gathered that I LOVE steak, avocado, and ginger… so naturally I put them all together in this salad for lunch. With ice cold tea, this was the perfect springy lunch. I splurged and bought an organic, grass fed Australian steak.

  • 8 ounces of good steak
  • 1 avocado
  • 3 slices of ginger
  • 1 bunch of arugula (or other lettuce)
  •  1 bunch of sugar snap peas
  • Salad dressing of your choice
  1. Sprinkle steak with good salt and grill. I like mine rare, so I grilled accordingly.
  2. Once your steak has been grilled, let it rest
  3. While the steak is resting, brush the avocado and ginger with a little olive oil. Grill for just a few minutes
  4. Arrange the salad in your favorite bowl and sprinkle with your favorite salad dressing.

*The grilled ginger is rather bitter, but tossed with the salad it imparts a light gingery flavor.

🙂 Enjoy!

Steak Salad with Mint and Shaved Goat Cheese

After months of putting off using the bike my sister gifted me, I finally got it out and took it for a good, long ride. Turns out, biking is super fun. I did 9 miles in 40 minutes and felt great. My knees definitely appreciated the break.

Anyway, after working out I bought a mini salad spinner and whipped up some salad. I thought I’d share what I made.

Steak Salad with Mint and Shaved Goat Cheese (Kaprise Kitchen original)

  • 3 ounces (or more) of cold steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups of arugula
  • 1/2 cup of mint leaves, stems removed
  • 2 small cucumbers, sliced
  • half a dozen shavings from a block of cheese, I chose Midnight Moon goat cheese
  • a drizzle of your favorite dressing
  1. Wash and spin your arugula and mint
  2. Arrange the salad greens in a large bowl with the steak and cucumber
  3. Shave the cheese over the top and drizzle your favorite dressing on top.

Easy Peasy and delicious. The mint definitely adds a unique punch and freshens up the salad.
