Southwest Steak Salad with Honey Lime Dressing

This week I will be sharing a salad recipe each evening. I don’t want you to think I have reformed and am going to get all healthy on you; this week of salads is one of necessity. All of my lettuce is getting ready to go to seed, as is my Swiss chard, so I am trying to use it all up before it goes bad. Which would you prefer, a salad recipe each night or a horrid food waste picture on Friday? That’s what I thought!
