Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup red onion, sliced
  • 2 eggs, hardboiled
  • 1 cup tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/2 avocado, chopped
  • 1 lb grilled flank steak, recipe linked below
  • 1/3 cup herbed goat cheese, crumbled
  • Chopped chives and parsley to garnish

For the herby red wine vinaigrette:

  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 tsp aminos
  • 5-6 basil leaves, torn
  • 2-3 sprigs fresh parsley, torn
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • Pinch Salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions

For the herby red wine vinaigrette:

  • First, prepare the red wine vinaigrette by combining all ingredients in a small blender or food processor. Blend until combined.

For the salad:

  • Add greens to a large bowl. Drizzle with about 1/4 cup of the dressing, adjusting the amount to your liking. Toss to coat the greens, and transfer to a serving platter or bowl.
  • Using a bundt pan, or a small bowl placed in a large bowl, hold the cob of corn upright, and using a knife, slice kernels from the cob allowing them to fall into the bundt pan or bowl. Arrange on greens.
  • Arrange red onion, hardboiled egg, tomatoes, bacon, avocado, and grilled steak on top of the greens.
  • Sprinkle with herbed goat cheese, chives, parsley, salt, and fresh cracked pepper. Enjoy!
