Is it HOT where you are?? It sure is here: Hot and HUMID! We're living on cold salads these days and I try not to even use the BBQ.
I made this the other night and it was just a fantastic taste treat so I thought I'd share it with you here:
Beef Strip Salad with BBQ Vinaigrette
Barbecue Vinaigrette
3 /4 cup of olive oil
1/8 cup dark balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce
juice from 1/2 of a lime
1 large clove of garlic crushed
1 tsp of fresh ground cumin seeds (or cumin powder)
1 tsp of chili powder
1 Tbsp of fresh oregano chopped fine
1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger
2 - 4 slices of bacon crumbled
Whisk all of the above together in a saucepan until blended thoroughly.
Warm the dressing on the stove until barely hot and put aside to cool.
I placed my strips of cooked sirloin beef (I admit to buying this pre-cooked!!) into the sauce to marinate for a bit together with:
sweet corn, green beans, and chopped onion.
I then tossed it with baby spinach, diced avocado, chopped celery and chopped red pepper and/or tomato.
Maybe with some crumbled bacon or blue cheese on top - whatever you have on hand!
Enjoy :)
