Grilled Steak Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing



We had this for dinner tonight it was super easy and yummy. we got the recipe of the back of the Premium saltine cracker box (hence the use of crackers). P.S. I doubt we used 8 cups of salad. I just put some in a bowl.

Grilled Steak Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing

1 lb boneless beef sirloin steak
dash of chili powder
8 cups mixed salad greens
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ cup sliced red onion
¼ cup sliced pitted ripe olives
¼ cup house Italian reduced fat dressing
½ medium ripe avocado, peeled, pitted
20 saltine crackers

Sprinkle steak with chili powder. grill steak 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. remove from grill; cover loosely with foil. let stand 5 minutes.
meanwhile, toss lettuce with tomatoes, onion and olives; place on serving platter. place dressing and avocado in blender; blend until smooth.
cut steak across the grain into thin slices; arrange over salad. drizzle with dressing mixture. serve with crackers.
