Cooking Tips

• Choose a tender cut of steak, such as ribeye or filet mignon, for the best results.
• Let the steak rest after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute and ensure a tender and juicy result.
• For a creamier dressing, you can add a spoonful of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt to the basil balsamic dressing.

Storage and Serving

• The salad is best served immediately after assembling.
• If you have leftover salad, store the dressing separately and refrigerate the salad ingredients in an airtight container.
• To serve the leftover salad, let it come to room temperature and toss with the dressing before serving.
