Thank you, Mom Central Canada and Blue Dragon, for adding even more flavour to Salad Love!
Salad love is back!
This week, I’m sharing a salad that the Mr. Suburbles in your life are going to be thrilled with.
Meat salad.
Yep. Carnivores can be omnivores now.
Chinese New Year is just around the corner – year of the Horse, peeps! – and it’s a great reason to put a little bit of flair on your plate.
And keeping with Blue Dragon’s “East Made Easy” theme, you can get a lot of taste in a short amount of time.
Blue Dragon has a bunch of great Stir Fry sauces that pair well with the meat food group. I chose to the Honey Teriyaki stir fry sauce with my steak. I thought it would pair nicely with this Asian Dressing.
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup sesame oil
- 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp grated ginger
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp honey
- Mix all of the ingredients together (whisking helps to break up the honey)
- Drizzle onto salad and enjoy!
- 1 lb of sirloin, cut into strips
- 1 pkg Blue Dragon Honey Teriyaki sauce
- 1 tsp of olive oil
- 3 carrots
- 2 stalks of celery
- 1 red pepper
- Cilantro
- Asian Dressing (recipe in this post)
- Cut vegetables into matchsticks (or use mandolin to julienne them - so much easier!) and put aside
- Heat oil in a saute pan over medium heat
- Saute steak slices until just cooked (be careful -it's easy to overcook them)
- Toss in Stir Fry Sauce and put aside
- Drizzle Asian Dressing over the slaw and toss until coated
- Plate slaw on plate and top with steak
- Garnish with cilantro and serve
You can serve this with the steak hot or cold. The slaw with the sweet, gingery dressing is a fresh way to have a salad.
So, what say you about meat on your salads? It’s a great way to turn a salad into a main.
And don’t forget the cilantro. Cilantro MAKES it!

Oh, Tara my youngest is definitely a carnivore. He LOVE oriental styled food so I bet he’d love this salad….well love may be a strong word but i bet he would enjoy it! Thanks so much for the recipe!
Tara
That’s the way my hubby is. If there isn’t meat, it isn’t a meal to him. Let me know if you try it, Marilyn!
Melanie
I love cilantro! Thanks for the recipe!
Tara
Oh, cilantro is probably my most favourite garnish. I put it on nearly everything!
Nikki @ Tikkido
Mmm, I love hearty dinner salads! Looks delicious!
Tara
Me too (and most importantly, the hubby is satisfied, too. There’s nothing worse than him rifling through the fridge an hour after we’ve had a “healthy” meal)!
Erin @ DIY on the Cheap
Looks delicious!
Tara
Thanks, Erin!

This looks amazing – I want to try some of their stuff with chicken!

I love teriyaki chicken, too – especially on garden or caesar salads.
Jo-Anna
This looks delicious! I know it would be a hit in our home too! YUM steaaaaaak…

Tori
That looks so good!! I am always looking for new salad recipes! This one looks great!

Thank you so much, Tori! The dressing is so nice with the slaw – let me know if you try it!
Danni@SiloHillFarm
I like this series Tara! I have never heard of Blue Dragon…but I’ll look for it! Looks like a great salad!
Tara
Thank you so much, Danni! Blue Dragon is a line of East Asian cooking sauces and pastes. They’re SO delicious!
Adrianne
This looks fabulous. I keep craving veggies (and yummy photos like this keep feeding that craving) so maybe it’ time to “indugle” in healthy!
Tara
I think that having someone else make your lunch makes it that much more appealing – I really do. Who can beat a sandwich that someone else has made? Heaven.
(Same goes for cut veggies – love ’em when some else has sliced ’em)
Kara
Looks delicious and that Asian dressing sounds AMAZING! Thanks for sharing!!
Tara
I’m all about the vinaigrettes these days, Kara. You’ll have to let me know if you try it!
