Servings 4 salads

Ingredients
  

  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 8 oz. sirloin steaks
  • 10 oz. spring mix
  • 2 cups chopped tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup French's crispy fried onions
  • 1/2 cup bleu cheese crumbles

For the Balsamic Vinaigrette:

  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3/4 cup olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425. Peel and chop sweet potatoes into small bite size chunks and toss in a bowl with olive oil and cinnamon. Spread on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes until browned on the outside but not burnt.
  • While potatoes are baking, whisk together all the vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate until you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Grill the steaks with your desired seasoning to desired doneness. I cooked mine medium-well. Once cooked, let them rest for at least 5 minute before slicing.
  • Once the sweet potatoes are done, spread the french's crispy onions on a small baking sheet and bake in the same preheated oven for 3-5 minutes until they are browned and crispy but not burnt.
  • Assemble the salad with spring mix, roasted sweet potatoes, chopped tomatoes, chopped pecans, bleu cheese crumbles, crispy onions, and sliced steak. Top with balsamic vinaigrette and serve immediately.
