  • 1 cucumber, peeled and diced

For the Chipotle Lime Dressing

  • 12 chipotle chilies in adobo sauce

  • 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed (about 2 limes)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 15 stems cilantro, stem removed
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat up grill to medium-high heat. Season steak with chipotle chili pepper, and salt and pepper to taste. Grill till desired temperature and set aside. Grill corn as well, until soft.
  2. In a food processor or blender, blend chipotle chilies, adobo sauce, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, ground cumin, cilantro and olive oil until smooth.
  3. Cut steak into thin slices. In a large bowl, place lettuce, corn (removed from cob), cucumber, red onions, tomatoes, and steak. Drizzle dressing over top and serve.

Notes

Steak cooks more evenly when removed from fridge around 30 minutes prior to cooking on the grill.

For an even quicker dinner, you can prep the salad the night before and make the dressing and store in the fridge. All you’ll have left to do the next day, is grill the steak.

Dressing can store in the fridge up to a week.
