Hearty Paleo Steak & Potato Salad

Craving steak, potatoes and a salad? Here’s a hearty one-dish paleo meal that combines all three!

whole30 compliant recipe markThis one’s all my hubby’s doing – an interesting twist for you hardcore meat and potato lovers out there. And I’ve got to say, it’s really tasty.

It’s loaded up with juicy steak (grilled or pan-seared), roasted sweet potato wedges, crispy bacon, red onions, salad greens, fresh avocado, and a lemon vinaigrette.

This one dispenses with the niceties of separate salad bowls or side dishes. All you need is one plate. One big plate.

The salad mix goes on the bottom. You pile the steak, potatoes, and onions on top. Garnish with bacon and avocado. And finally, drizzle on a tangy dressing – I suggest doubling my easy Lemon Vinaigrette recipe.

Then, just dig in…and keep going. I can tell you, hubby loved every bite.

Who’s hungry enough to try this monster of a meal?

Here’s the easy paleo recipe…
