Kick up the spice with this scrumptious steak salad, full of fresh veggies and drizzled with a homemade cilantro-lime dressing! It’s the best steak salad I've EVER made (or eaten). Served with dry roasted unsalted peanuts, this meal was absolutely mouthwatering. I don't cook Asian dishes often – I'm always trying to learn, and I think this was a step in the right direction! I can't wait to serve this the next time we have spice-loving friends over for a scrumptious dinner!
