Steak Fajita Salad Recipe
Salads are always my go-to lunch idea, but lately, I've been making heartier salads for dinner too. Whether it's a shrimp caesar salad or steak and blue cheese combination, I have been experimenting with dressings and toppings to create a unique dinner salad at least once a week.
To make a steak fajita salad with a kick, you only need a few ingredients for this spicy dish. I love Mexican food in all forms, but steak on a salad is a treat. I usually order steak salads at restaurants, and I had yet to make one at home.
It’s an easy recipe that can be made in a hurry and customized to your tastes. Add extra spice or keep it simple with healthy salad toppings. You can also order beef online to save time and hassle.

The dressing added a sweet and spicy flavor that complemented the meat perfectly. The dressing could also be used on many other dishes too. It would be great with chicken tenders in place of your favorite sweet and sour sauce or even on top of a chili shrimp salad!
If you don't have sweet chili dressing, ranch or blue cheese are AMAZING options. This salad can be KETO friendly OR Whole30 friendly (just opt for an oil/vinegar salad dressing with no added sugar).
