Summer is coming fast so this delicious Steak and Feta Salad is going on my summer menu list!
This is my all-time favorite salad! Isn’t it beautiful…I think that is partly what makes it my favorite. It is absolutely perfect for the hot summer nights when you don’t want to turn on the stove. Fire up the grill instead and chop the veggies…you are going to LOVE this.
This is the way I like it, but you can easily substitute your favorites in this salad. Swap the feta for blue cheese. Hate black olives? Add in artichokes. Make it your own…or try it my way. 
I love to prep everything I need at the beginning of the week or at least in the morning before the busy evening hours hit. To keep all the veggies perfectly fresh I’ve been using these Rubbermaid® Freshworks™ containers and while I was skeptical at first, I am beyond thrilled with how much longer my produce stays fresh. Seriously, they are amazing! They keep produce fresher up to 80% longer than storing produce in bags from the store. Another bonus…they are dishwasher safe. You know me….it has to be dishwasher safe or I don’t use it!
This salad is also perfect for a spring or summer picnic. Just layer everything in the large container and any liquid will drain away. Then top with dressing and dig in for an easy and delicious picnic.
Grilled Steak and Feta Salad
Ingredients
- 3 lb flank steak
- 1 small bottle fat free Italian dressing (~8oz) divided
- 1 head lettuce, shredded
- 2 tomatoes, cubed
- 1 cucumber, seeded and cubed
- 1 small can sliced black olives
- 1 red onion, diced
- 1 small container feta cheese
- croutons or other salad toppings
Instructions
- Marinate steak in half of the Italian dressing for 6-8 hours in a ziptop baggie. Keep in the fridge while marinating. Cook steak on the grill until it's reached desired doneness.
- Meanwhile, assemble the salad on 4 plates, with the lettuce on bottom. Sprinkle each salad with ¼ container of feta and ¼ remaining dressing.

July 21, 2016 at 1:00 amI’m a weird creature who hates steak but the salad sounds delicious. I love feta and I sneak cherry tomatoes into anything I can.
Lettuce is probably the #1 kind of produce I buy that gets icky before I eat it all. I really need a container like this for it!

March 29, 2016 at 5:44 pmI like to take the cheese put some fried onions on top cheese nest and then melt it on the steak

March 24, 2016 at 12:05 pmIt looks delicious. I love a good steak fresh off the grill, but I have to say that eating steak cold on a salad is equally delicious! And so healthy too.

September 13, 2011 at 8:59 pmOh my gosh Wendy I just was talking to the hubby tonight about slicing a steak for salad. He didn’t appreciate that too much, said I would be killing an otherwise delicious meal! Guess I have to grill his and slice mine lol

September 13, 2011 at 6:41 amWell, I like black olives and artichokes. Can I use both?!
I wish that I would think to make more things like this. Keeps the house cool, easy to do, plus my husband does the grilling 🙂
