I Made This Salad Twice in One Week

With summer heating up, I've been craving more salads. A couple weeks ago, I decided to whip up a salad with what I had on hand: shaved steak, couscous, a number of fresh veggies, and some new seasonings from A Spice Affair that I found at Marshall's. I loved it so much I made it again – and I rarely repeat dishes so quickly.

Here's how I make the salad. 👇

☑️ INGREDIENTS:

- 1 onion

- 1 red bell pepper

- 14 oz shaved steak

- salt & pepper, to taste

- 1 tsp garlic powder

- 1 tsp onion powder

- 1 tsp chili crisp

- 1 tsp Zataar

- juice and zest of 1 lemon, reserve half of the lemon juice for serving

- 1 tbsp butter

- 1 (5.8 oz) pkg of couscous mix, roasted garlic and olive oil flavor

Salad Toppings:

- onion

- cherry tomatoes

- kalamata olives

- avacado

- bed of fresh spinach

- Feta cheese crumbles

- Balsamic dressing

- Tzaziki sauce

INSTRUCTIONS:

1️⃣ Cook the meat and season with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Zataar, and Chili Crisp seasonings. Set aside.

2️⃣ Add a little olive oil if needed, then brown onions and bell pepper. Add butter to pan. Add couscous to the pan and toast it for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Add lemon zest and juice from half of a lemon. Cook couscous according to the package directions.

3️⃣ Place a bed of fresh spinach in a bowl. Top with couscous, steak, feta cheese, onions, cherry tomatoes, avacado, tzatziki sauce, balsamic vinegarette dressing, and a splash of fresh lemon juice from the other half of the lemon you used earlier. Enjoy!
