flank steak salad with flair

Sometimes a salad is the perfect dinner; especially if it takes less than 15 minutes to prepare.

Over the weekend, I discovered a recipe for Flank Steak Salad with Chimichurri Dressing from Bon Appetit magazine. Eager to try it out, I bought the ingredients and decided to make the salad on a night when I knew we would eat late due to after-work meetings.

We didn't have any chipotle hot sauce so I substituted with Frank's Hot Sauce. It was fantastic...what's not fantastic with Frank's??? I also added roasted local asparagus (from farmer Hric) and halved grape tomatoes.

You know thinking about this salad, it would probably be equally perfect with grilled chicken or fish.

All in all, it was a meal that didn't require much of a menu.
