In the spring time and summer, I just love salads. They make the perfect lighter, cooler dinner option for the warmer months. This steak salad is a tasty creation that keeps my steak loving husband happy and my salad loving daughter happy. This Mojito Grilled Steak Salad recipe was shared by Food Network’s Jamika Pessoa with Home & Family host Cristina Ferrare (the show airs weekdays at 10 am ET/PT on the Hallmark Channel). I was given permission to share it here.
