Steak Salad

This is a simple salad that's quick to prepare and high in protein.  I like to enjoy it as the last meal of the day.  The steak supplies the protein to give your muscles what they need to recover and there's no unnecessary calories.

Ingredients

• 6 oz steak

• 1 cup lettuce

• 1/2 cup sliced tomatoes

• 1/2 cup sliced cucumbers

• 1/4 cup sliced onions

• 2 tbsp dressing of your choice

Preparation

1. Slice the steak into strips and season to your liking.  I like to stick with the basics; a dash of salt and pepper, plus a little garlic.  
2. Once the seasoning is done, grill the strips for 5-10 minutes depending on how you prefer your steak.  
3. While grilling, combine the lettuce, onions, and cucumbers into a plastic bowl along with the dressing of your choice.
4. Place the cover over the bowl and shake until the dressing is thoroughly mixed into the vegetables.  While this step is not necessarily required, it is a good way to ensure you don't overuse the salad dressing.  People tend to have the habit of adding more and more dressing as they eat if it's not properly mixed into the salad.  Shaking it in a covered bowl ensures that every bite of your salad with be flavored with dressing while also preventing you from adding a lot of unnecessary calories.  The quickest way to destroy a healthy salad is with too much dressing.
5. Finally, add the steak and enjoy.
