Steak Fajita Salad with Jalapeno Lime Vinaigrette

Who said salad has to be boring? I know I didn’t. Let me introduce you to my favorite salad of all time, yeah that’s right, ALL TIME. I absolutely love the steak fajita salad from On the Border, but recently I decided I wanted to make a version of my own, and then, this recipe was born.

It starts with cool, crisp romaine lettuce, grilled fajita veggies, mesquite marinaded steak, and finished off with a homemade jalapeno lime vinaigrette dressing. I mean what could be better?

I hope you give this a try, and if you do, like always, make sure to let me know by tagging me at #madewithmott
