This is my first attempt of something "healthy" or somewhat healthy also keeping in theme with the 1 dish meal! I hope you enjoy it!
Southwestern Steak Salad
1 box 16 oz pasta
1 1/2 Pounds Top Sirloin Steak
1 can Southwestern beans (red beans, black, pinto, corn)
1 Small Red Bell Pepper, chopped
1 Small Green Bell Pepper, Chopped
1/4 Red Onion, Chopped
Half Pint of Tomatoes Halved
Cook your pasta according to the box directions or your personal taste.
Grill your steak also to your liking (my hubs likes his steak on the "done" side), and cut into thin strips.
Drain your pasta, add and mix in your chopped vegetables, beans and some of your Southwestern Dressing.
Top it all of with your steak.
Listo,
This amount of steak and pasta will serve 4 with some leftovers too!
Southwestern Dressing
8 Oz Plain Yogurt
1/2 Low fat Mayo
1 1/2 TBSP Low Fat Buttermilk
1 TBSP Mustard
2 TBSP Orange juice
1 1/2 tsp Minced Garlic
1 tsp Chipotle Powder
1 tsp Minced Onions
1 tsp Dried Oregano
1 tsp Ground Cumin
Mix all these ingredients and you will get a very creamy, light and spicy dressing that goes well not only with your salad but vegetables as well.
I just loved it! It's so flavorful you really don't need a whole lot to be satisfied.
I supposed you could make it even healthier with whole wheat pasta, but I'm not there yet, lol
You also appease your appetite just by looking at this arrange of pretty colors and textures!
Thank You so much for joining me today! I hope you try this salad at home and experiment with your own combination of flavors and spices!
Remember than even when on a diet, everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love!
Besitos,
Lizy

Well, I'm jealous of your camera. This very cheap point and shoot that I bought is just not making the mark. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your photos. The recipe sounds good, and light enough to really enjoy when its hot outside!
Looks delicious!! I know how hard it is to lose. I just lost 7 pounds in the last month because I had to get a strapless bridesmaid dress to zip!! :)
ReplyDeleteMission accomplished....and I feel great. You can do it!
My husband is two things - a carnivore and a carbivore. He would LOVE this! The dressing sounds fabulous, especially with the use of chipotle and fresh garlic. Pinning right now to make this summer. It would be great if you would link this recipe up to Tasty Tuesdays. :) http://www.hungryharps.com/2013/06/tasty-tuesdays-15-9-recipes-youll-love.html
