Method

Preparing the Blackening Spice

  1. 1

    Mix the Spices

    In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a blackening spice blend.

Preparing the Protein

  1. 2

    Coat the Steak or Chicken

    Rub the blackening spice mixture generously on all sides of the steak or chicken breast.

  2. 3

    Cook the Protein

    Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a little oil to prevent sticking. Cook the steak for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare or chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 4

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, add the spring greens as the base.

  2. 5

    Add Salad Toppings

    Top the spring greens with feta cheese, grape tomatoes (halved), cucumbers (sliced), onion straws, and sunflower seeds.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the cooked steak or chicken and place it on top of the salad. Drizzle with honey mustard dressing before serving.
