Steak and Salad
Hubby and I started doing meal planning about a month ago. I haven’t posted our weekly meal plans, but maybe I’ll start doing that… I like adding tried and true recipes that are easy and healthy. This is one of those recipes.
We eat salad almost every night with dinner. This is our favorite. One night we had some steak in the freezer that I wanted to use up so I grilled it and served it with salad. Then I started taking bites of them together and this meal was created.
Super Steak Salad (by ME!) – 8 WW pts – makes 3 servings
1 bag of spring mixed greens
1 granny smith apple – chopped
3 Tbsp of sliced almonds
1/8 cup dried cranberries
1 oz Goat Cheese
6 Tbsp Trader Joe’s Italian Dressing
12 oz lean steak
Mix all ingredients except steak in a box and mix (I like to put in a Tupperware bowl, put lid on and shake until all mixed up).
Grill steak to your preference. Top salad with steak and serve!

Besides the top being a little brown it looks like a perfect cheesecake! I absolutely must try this recipe. Thanks for sharing
Yes!
Can I use dried blue berries for the sauce.

I haven’t tried this sauce with dried berries. I am not sure it would work very well without the addition of some liquid. Maybe some fruit juice?
Just made this cheesecake for dinner guests. It was a big hit. I didn’t have any trouble with burning but the top came out spotted with brown instead of the lovely smooth top. No matter, I covered it with blueberry topping and no one cared. Oh, and… It didn’t crack but I left it in the oven until it was completely cooled. Thanks!!

Glad it was a success for you! And yay for no cracking 🙂
Blueberry sauce…
I looked at least 20 recipes and this was the best for simplicity of ingredients.
It didn’t require vanilla, or zest of lemon (which would require a grater$$)
And best of all it did not require a ton of sugar. I am not much of a cook however your easy to understand directions. And it was great.
Thank you
