Balsamic Honey Grilled Steak Salad and Vinaigrette

This Balsamic Honey Grilled Steak Salad and Vinaigrette will satisfy even the heartiest of appetites!

It is officially grilling season! We grilled twice this past week and have some serious plans for this coming weekend. Not to mention…Memorial Day weekend is almost here!

Seriously, where did Spring go?? Here in Sacramento, we not only skipped Spring but we are deep into summer with temperatures reaching 100 degrees this week.

Ouch.

At least the kids get to cool off nightly at swim practice 🙂  I have to admit, I’m more than a little jealous when I see them jump into the pool each night 😉

So, you all know that I LOVE to grill. It’s one of my favorite ways to cook and I’ll give you a hint as to why…less dishes. #lazymommy

I am also seriously into salads. Like, I love them and eat them every day. But, I’m not into wimpy salads. No. They need some protein – like grilled steak or chicken. In fact, one of my favorite ways to use leftovers from the grill is in a salad.

Pluuuuss, even my husband and boys will chow down on a salad when it’s got this gorgeous grilled steak on it! This Balsamic Honey Grilled Steak Salad and Vinaigrette is a recipe the ENTIRE family loves.

When you’ve got a gorgeous steak salad like this…you need to top it with something amazing. Something like this Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette.

The marinade for the steak mirrors a lot of the flavors found in the vinaigrette making it a perfect match. I make up the marinade and vinaigrette at the same time because almost all of the ingredients are the same.

Since you’re making the vinaigrette ahead of time, the oil will separate – just give it a little shake-shake and you’re good to go!
