    Sometimes, the best things in life are the simple pleasures – food doesn’t have to be fancy or complicated, just fresh, flavorful, and on the table when you’re hungry.

    This salad fits the bill perfectly, with nothing that’s unfamiliar or challenging to cook and a delicious final result that’s ready in no time. To make it even faster, buy a bag of pre-washed, pre-cut mixed greens: you’ll pay for the convenience, of course, but some days it’s just worth it.

    Grilled Steak Salad

    If you do have the time to play around with the recipe, you can really make it interesting by varying the salad greens. Lettuce and baby spinach are familiar to everyone, but branching out has a surprising taste and health benefits.

    Arugula, for example, is surprisingly high in calcium compared to regular lettuce, and it has a sharp, peppery taste that makes a delicious contrast with the steak.

    Dandelion greens aren’t for the faint of heart (they’re quite bitter) but try mixing just a few leaves into a bed of other lettuce. And of course, kale always wins first prize for nutrition.

    This salad would make a very classy first course for a party, but it’s also satisfying enough to work as the main dish if you’re just looking for a light lunch. Enjoy it with a side of soup and maybe a piece of fresh fruit for dessert: simple, classic, and delicious.
