WFDW: Flank Steak, Apple, Pear Walnut Chopped Salad

Hi guys! Welcome back to another edition of What’s For Dinner Wednesday! Wow, has it been awhile since I’ve done a post! I have been very busy since moving to Scottsdale and going back to work. I am still trying to find a good balance between my day job and businesses, while having some fun at the same time. All I can say for right now is that good things are coming. I will keep you posted for sure! 

I want to share a salad with you I have been making lately that I actually had for the first time at a new place across the street called MADGreens. I made my version, which is similar, but not exactly the same. It has crock pot flank steak (flank steak seasoned to your liking in the crockpot with 1/2 inch of water on low for 6 hours or high for 3-4 hours-simple as that), a few bleu cheese crumbles, chopped granny smith apple and pear, and a palmful of walnuts all on top of chopped spring greens and arugula with dressing of your choice. It’s so easy! Here’s how to make it:

Get a bowl larger than you need for the size of your salad. Chop up a couple of handfuls of your greens, put them in the bowl, and add your chopped flank steak (cold preferably.)

Add your bleu cheese crumbles and walnuts.

Then, add your chopped apple and pear.

I love using this Marston’s San Pasqual dressing that I get at AJ’s. I’m not sure where else to get it, so I apologize. It is fabulous!

You can use a balsamic vinaigrette or any other kind of healthier dressing you like. Add it to the salad.

Toss it up with some tongs or two forks, and you’re good to go! 

It is Ali approved, since she got a little piece of steak :-).

It was super yummy, and healthy, too! You can substitute gorgonzola or goat cheese if you prefer. Honestly, you can do whatever you want! You guys all know that you can always modify my recipes to suit your preferences. In fact, leave me a comment and let me know if you did, and how it turned out! 

I hope you’re all doing well, and I am so glad to be able to stop back by and post a recipe for you! I am looking forward to posting more regularly once things in my life settle down a little bit. 

Have an awesome rest of your week and Halloween weekend!!!

Happy Trails!
