Key Salad Ingredients
Spring Mix – We used a spring mix for this strawberry salad recipe. However, you can sub it out with your family’s favorite lettuce or even baby spinach!
Flank Steak – Should your family need to change out the protein in this salad, feel free to substitute. Grilled chicken or even salmon would be perfect.
Naturipe Strawberries – We love the flavors that Naturipe strawberries bring to this salad recipe. You can even add in Naturipe blueberries if you have some in your refrigerator!
Candied Pecans – Every salad needs a little something salty and crunchy. Candied pecans are a great way to do just that. However, you can omit this completely or go with your favorite crouton or crouton replacement.
Red Onions – Slices of red onion bring a bite to the salad that is quite delicious. This can be omitted if you are not an onion fan!
Blue Cheese – If your family isn’t big on blue cheese, you can replace this ingredient with goat or feta cheese.

How to Make a Steak and Strawberry Salad at Home
Begin by heating the grill to medium.
Drizzle both sides of the flank steak with olive oil, kosher salt and pepper.
Next, grill the flank steak on medium-high heat. Once the steak has rested, slice the steak into thin pieces across the grain.
Next, you will want to make the Strawberry Vinaigrette. In a small jar, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, honey, strawberry preserves and black pepper.
In a large bowl, arrange the spring mix. Then, layer the flank steak slices on top of the salad base. Next, top with the candied pecans and blue cheese crumbles. Add in the Naturipe strawberry slices. Finally, drizzle the strawberry vinaigrette over the salad and serve.
