Then add some grilled mushroom for a little “steak and mushrooms’ vibe type thing going on. Then add your favorite summer fruits
I’m going with kiwi, blood orange, strawberries and mango.
The mango vinaigrette can be made up to 30 minutes before, but can be done up to a week in advanced if you want to use it for other things as well .
I used my wife’s juicer that I picked up for her celery juicing habit to try and remove some fiber from the mango for the dressing.
You could use a blender or even just grab some mango juice if you’d like.
Its some white balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and a little garlic and parsely for some added flavor.
This summer salad is so easy to put together and tastes amazing!
Grill up your steak and mushrooms. While they’re grilling slice up your fruit, then throw it all together! The best part is the steak can cool a little bit and you’ve still got a great summer salad so there’s no rush either!
Which is perfect when you’re a slob in the kitchen and tear it up when on a time crunch!
