There is something about this salad that makes it a favorite in my house. It brings together juicy steak with cool cucumber and sweet corn, making it light enough for a summer evening but hearty enough to keep everyone full.

My best tip is to let your steak rest for a few minutes before you slice it. This keeps all those delicious juices inside the meat rather than all over your cutting board.

🧺 Ingredients

1 pound flank or sirloin steak
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 cup fresh or canned corn
1 large cucumber, diced
1 ripe avocado, sliced
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
3 tablespoons olive oil for dressing
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon honey

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper.
2
Heat one tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
3
Cook the steak for about 4 to 5 minutes per side until it reaches your preferred level of doneness.
4
Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a plate for at least 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
5
While the steak rests, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lime juice, and honey in a small bowl to create the dressing.
6
In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, corn, cucumber, avocado, and minced jalapeño.
7
Top the salad with the sliced steak and drizzle the honey lime dressing over everything before serving.

💡 Tips

If you have leftovers, store the dressing separately from the greens so the salad stays crisp for the next day. This salad is also great topped with a little bit of crumbled feta or goat cheese if you want some extra tang.
