Now that summer is upon us, we&#8217;ll be seeing more salads in our dinner rotation as entrees.\u00a0 I typically eat at least one salad a day, even if its just a small side salad with a meal. The trick to not getting bored with them is to keep them interesting. Some of my favorite salad add ins are: pumpkin seeds, nuts, cheese, grains, potatoes, eggs, fruits (fresh and dried), and more.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-470\" src=\"https:\/\/thecreativerd.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_3320-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/olculinary.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_3320-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/olculinary.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_3320-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/olculinary.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_3320-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/olculinary.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_3320-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/olculinary.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_3320-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My summer steak salad is quick and delicious. It is even better if you have a grill, but a grill is not required. You can simply cook the steak on your stove top in a heavy duty skillet or a cast iron pan (we don&#8217;t have a grill or cast iron pan, and its still delicious). I make my own balsamic dressing which is quick and easy and we do not have to worry about any garlic or onions sneaking in when using a pre-made dressing. You can add whatever toppings you like, however if keeping with a gluten free and\/or low FODMAP diet be sure to check your ingredient labels.<\/p>\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div
