Grilling and Assembling

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grates.
  • Grill the steak for 4-6 minutes per side until desired doneness. Let rest for 8-10 minutes before slicing.
  • Assemble the salad with greens, veggies, and half the dressing. Add sliced steak on top.
  • Finish with avocado, cheese, nuts, and remaining dressing. Serve immediately.
