Bag-O-Salad with Steak

Not every meal needs to be loaded with cheese and cream and butter and such.... and not every meal has to be time-consuming or even complicated to prepare. When you're in the mood for a light dinner, and your Thursday night line-up on television is going to start in 5 minutes, why not just have a simple salad, out of the bag, but liven it up with that left-over steak you have from the Memorial Day barbecue? And you might as well use that left-over half of the green pepper from your strata. In other words, use leftovers to liven up a simple salad.

I found the following in my fridge:

Bagged salad

Green Pepper - chopped

Black Olives - sliced

Parmesan Cheese - grated

Steak - sliced into bite size chunks

Bottled Salad Dressing




Put salad in serving bowls - as much or as little as you'd like.
Sprinkle over the salad sliced olives, chopped green pepper and grated parmesan.
Next, top with steak bites and drizzle on the dressing.




VOILA - simple as that - and oh-so-tasty.

I served a side of garlic toast. I like to slice the french bread and lightly toast it in the toaster.

Spread butter over each slice, and sprinkle with garlic poweder with parsley. Bake in the oven for a few minutes to melt the garlic powder into the buttered toast.
