Preparation

  2. Remove steak from marinade and discard the leftover marinade.
  3. Grill steak for about 5-7 minutes per side or until cooked to your liking.
Assembly
  1. Let steak rest for a few minutes, then slice.
  2. In a big bowl, mix greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, and diced avocado.
  3. Toss the salad mix with sliced steak, sprinkle feta cheese, and drizzle additional balsamic vinegar if desired.

Notes

Consider substituting steak with chicken breast or tofu. Store leftovers in separate containers for best freshness. Feel free to experiment with seasonal veggies.
