By now I know you have heard of an Italian grinder sandwich, but let’s take all of that goodness and turn it into a wedge salad instead! I love a good wedge salad and there are so many other options for flavor combinations other than the traditional wedge salad that you find at most steakhouses. With so many people going low carb or carb-free these days, this Italian grinder sandwich inspired wedge salad is the perfect way to get your cravings satisfied and is truly delicious too. This Italian grinder wedge salad is going to quickly become one of your favorite easy lunches or light dinners as we roll into the warmer months of the year.

Salads for dinner are something that we have at our house at least twice a week. I know most people think salads can be a little boring, but I always make it my goal to make them hearty and full of flavor. Lately I have been obsessing over my cobb salad, and recently I have fallen in love again with my crispy baked buffalo chicken salad. This is a salad that I make anytime I get a craving for buffalo anything. It is a healthier meal idea that is super satisfying and can be made quickly any night of the week. This recipe for crispy baked buffalo chicken salad is one that will have you excited for salads at dinnertime over and over again.

Pizza is one of those meals that I know my family will be on board with any night of the week. I started making my own pizzas years ago once I realized how easy and how delicious it could be. With the availability of store bought pizza dough in regular grocery stores nowadays, making homemade pizza has never been easier. I partnered with Tony Chachere’s to bring you a chopped salad pizza using their new line of salad dressings that combines pizza and salad together in perfect harmony. You may be thinking, salad on pizza? But trust me, it’s the best of both worlds and makes me feel a little better about serving up my weekly pizza to my family! Plus anytime I can get my toddler to eat more salad, is a meal that I will continue to make over and over. My chopped salad pizza is going to quickly become one of your family’s new favorite ways to eat pizza!

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!

I love the idea of starting my day off with greens. I feel like it sets the tone for the day and makes me feel really good after I eat them. Breakfast salads are becoming more popular for this reason and I love that you can truly use salad as a base for all of your favorite breakfast foods! From eggs, potatoes, more veggies, avocado, and more the possibilities are endless for breakfast salads! It’s another great way to meal prep at the beginning of the week and have a healthy breakfast ready when you are every single morning! My Spanish chorizo summer breakfast salad is the perfect dish to help you switch up your regular breakfast routine!

I love taking traditional recipes and turning them into something new. Spring rolls are one of my favorite takeout items, but for some reason I never make them at home! I love that they are light, packed with flavor, and usually packed with veggies too! If you saw my Spicy Garlic Sesame Chicken post, then you already know that I am currently obsessed with my Ecotierra Organic Sesame Oils! They have become one of my favorite oils to keep in my pantry and I have been using them for everything from sautés to dressings! One of my new favorite recipes that I have been making is my Shrimp Spring Roll Salads that has everything that I love about a traditional spring roll, but deconstructed in salad form!
