Healthy Southwest Chopped Salad Recipe

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Fabulous! I made this last week with a few adjustments because I wanted enough salad as a meal for two. used frozen corn I found at Trader Joe's that's already roasted. I also added a couple of cut up fresh tomatoes to the salad portion and made the dressing in the Cuisinart - since I had so much salad I doubled the dressing - and added 2 teaspoons of sugar to bring out the flavors a bit more than the mirin alone. I cut up a head of romaine lettuce as the bed of my salads and barbecued a flap steak then cut it really thin. I poured the dressed salad over my lettuce, topped with the flap steak and a bit of queso fresco (crumbly Mexican cheese). Oh boy, restaurant worthy! I will do this excellent dinner salad again and thanks so much for posting it, spatchcock.
