It was just youngest and I for dinner tonight so we opted for a great salad with some sliced barbecued steak.  She’s been into nibbling walnuts lately so I thought some candied walnuts would be a nice addition.   I found this recipe and they came out great. My only issue was that the wax paper stuck to some of the walnuts. Maybe I should have stirred them in the pan a bit more before dumping out to cool…  Hardly a recipe for the rest of the salad. It was:

• chopped red lettuce
• alfalfa sprouts
• sliced radishes
• chopped avocado
• sliced mushrooms

The steak was a small tri tip strip I’d frozen previously. After thawing it, I put a bit of olive oil on it, then sprinkled both sides with seasoned pepper and garlic salt.  Barbecued about 4 minutes each side, let rest while I finished the salad, the sliced thinly.    I have some bottled dressings left over from various parties so I didn’t even make the salad dressing.

Great quick and filling dinner.  Plus I’ve got leftovers for lunch tomorrow, always a bonus.
