Recipe Inspiration
I love salads that are loaded with non-traditional salad ingredients. The plain ol’ lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber salads and carrot shreds remind me of the salads my mom made growing up. She loved them! I on the other hand, like more “weird” ingredients as my mom says! 😂
That’s how this salad came to be! I was craving a healthy option for lunch one day so I looked in my refrigerator to see what I could come up with! I stumbled upon some leftover steak, lettuce and an avocado!
