Steak Salad with Homemade Oregano Dressing

I try to be good, you know eat healthfully…I really do (sometimes), but LORD it’s really hard. This steak salad makes it easier. This salad with juicy, lean steak and healthy carbs delivers the protein you need to get your South Beach or other Low Carb diet on track.

For me, reducing carbohydrates is the least painful way to lose weight. A good, hearty steak salad helps to keep me from feeling deprived. You can easily swap out the steak for chicken if you like, even a piece of roasted salmon would be delicious.
