grape tomatoes
grilled chicken breast, or steak
a dozen crispy french fries
blend of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses

Steps:

  • Place the desired amount of lettuce into a large, shallow bowl or onto a large plate. Add a handful of tomatoes. Place your grilled chicken, or steak, on top in the center.
  • After cooking, let the fries cool so that they're warm but no longer actually hot. Spread the fries out over the assembled salad.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ pounds sirloin steak
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
cooking spray
1 (16 ounce) package frozen seasoned french-fried potatoes
13 ounces romaine lettuce, torn
1 cucumber, sliced
2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and sliced
1 ½ cups croutons
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Rub sirloin steaks with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Let the steaks warm at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Spread French fries onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake French fries in the preheated oven until slightly browned, about 15 minutes.
  • While the fries bake, cook steaks on preheated grill until beginning to firm and are hot and slightly pink in the center, 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Remove steaks to a cutting board.
  • Mix romaine lettuce, cucumber, and egg together in a salad bowl. Pile French fries atop the salad mixture.
  • Cut steaks into bite-size pieces and arrange atop the French fries. Sprinkle croutons and mozzarella cheese over the entire salad.
