This salad was a quick fix-up after our steak dinner tonight. Greg had cooked some top sirloin earlier for dinner, and he decided to use the leftovers for topping a salad. One of our Christmas presents was this awesome oil & vinegar sprayer. I bought it on Zulily, but there’s a similar one on Amazon. With the sprayer, you can choose how much oil & how much vinegar on a sliding scale. Plus the sprayer helps overpouring, which can tend to happen. ;) I chose to put some balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil in this one. They go well together, and I feel like we use them often. The mix also went well with the three-cheese bread we made earlier today [with our NEW breadmaker! — recipes added soon].
After we talked about it, I suggested some avocado, and Greg suggested some Asiago breadcrumbs to add to our next version.
- Wash lettuce, slice, and separate into serving bowls.
- Top lettuce with the steak (heat on stovetop or in microwave if preferred) or what meat you may have.
- Spray oil & vinegar to taste on salad. Scoop small spoonfuls of ricotta and add salt and freshly ground pepper.
