Italian Steak Salad with Balsamic
Easy yet flavorful, this is a delicious, nutrient packed salad that is a perfect weeknight meal. I also like to add a few handfuls of fresh herbs like basil and parsley to the leafy greens in this. If you have room for more calories and/or carbs then a few tablespoons of pine nuts would be an excellent addition as would a bit of torn burrata for an extra decadent meal.
