Chipotle Steak Salad with Cilantro Dressing

August 3, 2016 by Jo Barnett

I love a good salad, especially on a hot summer day.  This salad has a bit of prep work but it is so worth it….It is fresh with just a bit of spice.  And don’t forget you can change any of the ingredients for your taste palate.  Feeding vegetarians:  you can put the steak on the side or not include it at all.

chipotle steak salad

Dressing Ingredients:

  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 2 limes – zest and juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili chipotle ground
  • 5 cloves of roasted garlic (roast garlic cloves in aluminum foil with salt, pepper and olive oil @ 400 for 1/2 hour)
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro

put all the ingredients into a blender and combine.

Steak Salad Ingredients:

Steak:

  • 1/2 lb skirt steak: coated with: 1/2 teaspoon chili chipotle ground, 1/2 Kosher salt, 1/4 pepper – let steak rest to get to room temp for about 1/2 hr. Add 1 tablespoon to steak just before cooking.

Cook steak in cast iron skillet 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium rare.  Let rest and slice in strips for salad

Salad:

My choice of veggies is as follows, but you can use what ever you prefer

  • 1  or 2 roasted beets (roast the beet in aluminum foil with salt, pepper, and olive oil @ 400 for 45 minutes)
  • 1 15 oz can drained and rinsed black beans seasoned with 1/4 teaspoon dried cumin and 1/4 teaspoon dried coriander)
  • 1 small bunch of asparagus (blanched and cooled down)
  • 1 cup frozen roasted corn
  • 2 radishes – finely chopped
  • 3 baby peppers – finely chopped
  • 1/2 English cucumber – chopped
  • your choice of lettuce
  • 1/2 cup chopped jicama
  • 1 avocado – sliced
  • tomatoes – your choice

additional salad options that can be added:

  • olives
  • cheese (I used the Mexican cheese mix but really any cheese could work)

In a large salad bowl add the prepped veggies, sliced steak and add the salad dressing.
