The summer is almost over, but that doesn’t mean that we still can’t enjoy all of the gorgeous summer fruits for a little while longer! I don’t know about you, but even though I long for crisp fall mornings, saying goodbye to all of my favorite melons, tomatoes, stone fruits, and cherries is not something I am ready for yet! One of my favorite ways to enjoy summer’s produce is to make a Caprese salad! It’s the most perfect summer dish that is so great for a light lunch or dinner all season long! I turned one of my favorite salads into the best summer entertaining platter! My Ultimate Summer Caprese Platter is perfect to serve up for any remaining warm summer nights spent with friends and family!

July has been a whirlwind of a month between going on vacation, lots of work happenings, and getting the worst summer cold last week. Sleep schedules have been off, diets have been off, and honestly I am ready to get back to some routine around here as we get ready for back to school in a couple of weeks. I cannot believe that the summer is over and we are already prepping for everything back to school! Where did the summer go? One of the ways I always try to get ready for school is to prep easy breakfasts and snacks because mornings are rushed and after school kids are hangry and need something to eat as soon as they get home! Muffins are one of those things that I like to make it advance and keep in the freezer to pull out whenever I need them most! My whole wheat cherry almond streusel muffins are perfect for meal prepping and more and you are going to love this recipe guaranteed!

I may be from Tennessee, but I married into a Cajun family and even though it’s not in my blood, I have grown to have an intense love for Cajun culture and cuisine! So much so, that I wrote my first cookbook with all of my favorite Cajun recipes that are near and dear to my heart! (I did live in Louisiana for ten years after all!) One of my favorite all time classic Louisiana dishes happens to be a po’ boy! I love all of the varieties that are available, but nothing beats a shrimp po’ boy in my opinion! That’s why I partnered with Tony Chachere’s to bring you the perfect summer grilling recipe! My Grilled Shrimp Po’ Boys are a lighter take on the classic and are easy to whip up any night of the week!

We are in full summertime mode over here which means I am always thinking up ways to make dinner quicker and easier so we have more time to enjoy the day! Grilling is one of my favorite ways to cook in the summer months and I love putting my grill to work for more than just meats and veggies and flatbreads are one of my favorite ways to do just that! I partnered with Taylor Farms to bring you a fun new way to enjoy a steakhouse salad and thanks to their easy Salad Kits, dinner has never been easier! I created a Grilled Steakhouse Salad Flatbread using Taylor Farms Steakhouse Wedge Chopped Kit and the result was insanely delicious and took me no time to whip up!

I love grilling flatbreads and pizzas! It gives the crust a wood fired oven taste (without the wood fired oven) and it really couldn’t be easier to grill up! I am notorious for grilling up anything and everything, especially in the summertime when I don’t want to turn my oven on! This grilled steakhouse salad flatbread is the perfect summer meal because we all need a little more salad in our lives and this is a fun new way to enjoy one! This meal is perfect for the whole family and you can bet even your non salad loving kiddos will gobble up their salad when its on top of a flatbread!

I love the idea of this flatbread for an easy dinner, but this recipe would also make a really fun appetizer for entertaining throughout the summer months and is a crowd pleaser all around!

Taylor Farms makes it incredibly easy to eat good without having to do any of the work! I keep a few varieties of their salad kits in my fridge for nights where I need something on the table fast! Their NEW Steakhouse Wedge Chopped Kit is so delicious y’all! It even comes complete with a creamy blue cheese dressing, crispy onion straws, steak seasoning, and bacon! It’s 100% delicious on it’s own, but this Steakhouse Wedge Chopped Salad Kit really takes these flatbreads to the next level! I can’t wait for you to give this recipe and this salad kit a try for yourself to see just how good they really are!.

Ingredients:

1 Bag Taylor Farms Chopped Steakhouse Salad Mix
1 Lb Grilled Steak (I like to use a Ribeye or a Flank Steak)
2 Tbsp. Crumbled Blue Cheese
1 Tbsp. Salt
1 Tsp. Black Freshly Cracked Pepper
1 Store Bought or Homemade Pizza Dough, at room temperature
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil

Directions:

Season steak with salt, pepper, and the steak seasoning from the Taylor Farms Steakhouse Wedge Chopped Kit and rub liberally on both sides, reserving 1/2 tsp for the flatbread. Let steak rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before grilling.
Preheat grill to high heat, about 450-500 degrees.
Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into desired flatbread shape and then brush both sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil on each side and season with the remainder of the steak seasoning and salt and pepper.
Place steak on the grill for 6-7 per side, depending on the thickness of your steak until desired doneness. This time is for a 1 1/2 inch thick ribeye and gets it to a medium doneness.
Remove steak and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile place flatbread, oil side down on the grill and let it cook until you see bubbles in the dough and the underside is charred. Flip and repeat. This whole process takes about 2-3 minutes per side so watch your dough carefully.
Toss Taylor Farms Chopped Steakhouse Salad mix together and then place on top of the flatbread.
Slice steak into cubes and add to the salad and then sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles if desired.
Slice and serve immediately.

Don’t these look incredible? I’m getting hungry just thinking about them! Time to fire up the grill and make these delicious Grilled Steakhouse Salad Flatbreads this week!
