Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Quick & Easy Cookbook. Who say fast food is not healthy for you? Fast food tastes great when you know what you're doing and you can cook it yourself. This salad is full of flavor and zest it will fill you up and leave you happy. The steak melts in your mouth with the feta cheese, tomatoes and mixed greens. You can use spinach and/or arugula in this salad as well as goat cheese or gorgonzola cheese and the salad will still have bite. I highly recommend seasoning the steak with salt, freshly ground black pepper and minced garlic to make your steak salad more flavorful.
