Ingredients

For the salad

4 cups butter lettuce
12 oz steak tips
½ cup red pepper diced
½ cup yellow pepper diced
½ cup orange pepper diced
½ cup red onion diced

For the guacamole

2 avocados
¼ cup red onion diced
2 tbsp jalapeño diced
2 limes juiced
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
1 tbsp chili lime seasoning I used Trader Joe's

For the dressing

1 container lemon greek yogurt (5.3 oz) I used Two Good
⅛ tsp sriracha
⅛ tsp orange zest
⅛ tsp truffle salt
⅛ tsp elote seasoning I used Trader Joe's
1 tbsp orange juice
1 tbsp mayo

Instructions

For the steak

First we are going to cook the steak tips. Use a paper towel to pat the tips dry and heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Spray your pan with cooking spray and add the steak tips ensuring none of the pieces are overlapping. Use a spatula to flip pieces and sear on all sides.
Cook until all sides are browned and meat reaches preferred doneness (about 4-6 minutes depending on size of tips).
Remove steak from heat and allow it to rest will you prepare the rest of your salad.

For the salad

Finely dice your peppers and onion.
Split your lettuce between two serving plates and sprinkle on the chopped veggies.
Then add your cooked steak tips last.

For the guacamole

First we’re going to slice the avocados in half and scoop out the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
Next add the finely diced onion and jalapeño to the mixing bowl along with the juice of two limes, cilantro, and the chipotle lime seasoning.
Then, mash all of your ingredients together. I find a ground meat chopper works great for this.
Mash until you reach your desired guac consistency leaving some larger avocado pieces if you prefer a chunkier consistency or mashing longer if you prefer smoother.
Add two scoops of the guac on top of each salad.

For the dressing

To make the dressing, simply add all of the ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix until smooth throughout. It’s pretty thick so add up to 1 tablespoon of water if needed.
Drizzle your dressing on top of your salad and enjoy!

Notes

Finely chop your veggies for both the salad and the guacamole. This will ensure you get tons of flavor from all of the ingredients in each and every bite.

If you're planning to store this salad to enjoy later keep the dressing and guac separate. My tip to keep the guac from browning, however, is to place it in a container with plastic wrap directly against the surface of the guacamole and then placing the lid on top. You’re trying to limit the amount of air that gets to the guacamole, so if you have a good sized container you can fill and the lid actually touches the top of the guac, that would work, too.
