How to Make Chipotle Steak Salad

  1. Prepare the steak: If using steak, grill to your desired doneness (about 15 minutes). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain. If using leftover chicken or pork, shred or slice into thin strips.
  2. Make the chipotle dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped), 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Adjust to taste.
  3. Combine the salad: In a large bowl, combine the sliced/shredded meat, 4 cups mixed greens, 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved), 1/4 cup red onion (thinly sliced), and 1 ripe avocado (diced).
  4. Dress and serve: Pour the chipotle dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately on a bed of greens, in a warm tortilla, or on a toasted roll.
  5. Pasta Salad Variation: Cook 1 pound pasta according to package directions. Drain and toss with the cubed meat, chipotle dressing, and your favorite veggies (like bell peppers and corn).
  6. Dip Variation: Finely dice the meat and combine with 1/4 cup of the chipotle dressing. Serve with tortilla chips or crackers.
