Ingredients
- Grilled steak, thinly sliced(sirloin, flank, or ribeye work great)
- Mixed salad greens (spinach, arugula, or your favourite blend)
- Cherry tomatoes, halved (mix of red and yellow adds color)
- Cucumber, diced

I used both Homemade Dressing and Caesar (which not everyone in the family is a fan of):
For the homemade dressing:
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice or balsamic vinegar
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Pinch of garlic powder (or minced garlic if you prefer a kick)
Instructions
- Prepare the steak: Grill or sear your steak to your preferred doneness. Let it rest before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
- Assemble the base: In a large salad bowl, toss together the greens, tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and boiled eggs.
- Top it off: Add the chopped steak and sprinkle with feta crumbs.
- Dress it up: Drizzle with the homemade dressing just before serving, and toss gently to combine.
Tips & Customisations
- Swap steak for grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu for variety.
- Add nuts or seeds like almonds, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds for extra crunch.
- Use a yogurt-based dressing if you want something creamy and high in protein.
