Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Candied Walnuts

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add sugar, walnuts, cinnamon, and salt. Cook until the sugar caramelizes and walnuts are toasted, about 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Transfer to parchment paper to cool.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Season the steak with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Heat a grill or skillet over high heat. Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes halved, diced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion. Toss to combine.

  4. 4

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Salad

    Slice the rested steak and place it on top of the salad. Drizzle with dressing and top with candied walnuts and crumbled feta cheese. Serve immediately.
