Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, pitted and peeled
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Season the flank steak generously with salt and black pepper. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
- Grill the Steak: Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Make the Dressing: In a blender, combine the avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add a little water to reach your preferred consistency.
- Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl or platter, layer the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Top with the sliced steak.
- Serve: Drizzle the avocado dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Enjoy your fresh and flavorful steak salad!
