I love a good grilled steak served alongside or on top of a crunchy and tangy salad. This dupe on a kale caesar feels decedent enough to stand up to a delicious grilled flank steak.

Kale Caesar Salad with Grilled Flank Steak

Flank steak is a cut that is flavorful and lean. It has grown in popularity and with the right seasoning can be a great fit for a summer salad.

Why This Recipe Works for Blood Sugar Balance

This recipe is high in protein from the steak, cheese, and pinenuts. This meal is very low in carbohydrates yet super filling. You will feel great, full, and lean after this meal, but won't have had to compromise on any of the flavors.

Why This Recipe Works in Your Kitchen

Allowing the garlic and olive oil to sit together mixed with the lemon juice will enhance the flavor of the salad. Choosing an aged Italian hard cheese and finely shredding it with a citrus zester will make for a delicate texture of cheese. Roasting pinenuts unlocks an impressive depth of flavor. It's a fancy meal on a weeknight amount of time to cook.
