Spring Salad
by Liz Silva Hall
flank steak
1/2 cup KRS Argentine Malbec
1/2 cup of your favorite
smoky bbq sauce
2 gloves garlic, minced
1 tsp chipotle chili seasoning
1 tsp Spanish paprika
1 tsp lime juice
Salt and fresh cracked black
pepper to taste
1 head of red leaf lettuce
1/2 red onion, thin
slices
1/2 a cucumber, sliced
1 handful fresh baby spinach
6 cherry
tomatoes, halved (yellow & red if possible)
2 small radishes, thinly
sliced
4 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 fresh basil
leaves, chopped
1 tsp fresh lemon thyme
Preparation:
In a flat dish mix wine, bbq sauce, garlic, chili seasoning,
paprika, and lime juice. Once thoroughly blended add steak and leave in fridge
for about 2 hours, turning over after first hour. Fire up the BBQ and throw on
the steak. Depending on desired doneness, steak should cook about 5 to 10
minutes per side. Once the steak is done, allow to rest on a plate. In a small
bowl whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, basil, thyme and salt and pepper.
In a large salad bowl throw together all the salad ingredients, tossing gently
to mix everything. About 5 minutes before serving, toss in your dressing,
making sure to coat everything. Once steak is cooled, slice into thin strips
and serve alongside your salad. This is an easy, just throw it together dinner
that will impress your friends. A chilled glass of Legacy
Sauvignon Blanc will complete this meal to perfection. From our house to
yours - Enjoy!
