We were having friends over for a Friday afternoon lunch—a perk of retired life. 🥰

Tom and I decided a Steak Salad would be perfect for a hot Summer afternoon lunch, and it was.

Tom took care of marinating and grilling the steak and as well as grilling the fresh corn on the cob. I assembled the rest of the salad along with baking a crusty homemade bread. It all turned out quite delicious.

Our friends enjoyed it all with smiles and laughter. That is the best compliment we could ever receive.

If you would like to try this, here are the recipes: Marinated and Grilled Flank Steak, Grilled Steak Salad with Balsalmic Vinaigrette Dressing, Crusty No-Knead Bread.

Please note that we didn’t cook the steak as the salad recipe called for. We marinated it using the first recipe. Everything else we did according to the recipes.

What kinds of recipes have you found work best on hot, summer days?

Thanks so much for reading. We hope our Foodie Friday posts inspire you to try something new in the kitchen. Have a great weekend!

Blessings,

Tom and Debi
