Tips & Tricks:

  • 🔪 Skip steps with knife if you completed the Prep Ideas! This entire dish can be made ahead!
  • 🥄 Dressing ingredients are not included in the shopping list! Be sure to add them if you choose to make the dressing rather than buying pre-made.
  • 🥩 This recipe uses the same steak as the corn salad dinner. If you make extra when you make that dinner, you can skip step 2.
  • 🥗 All salad ingredients are optional! Switch things up, add more of your favorite toppings, or ax any of these toppings you don’t like.
  • 🧈 To make this recipe Keto friendly, remove the beans or use these organic black soy beans.
