This salad reminds me of summer evenings when Dad would fire up the grill and Mom would bring out her secret pickled radishes—tangy, crunchy, unforgettable. This Steak & Pickled Radish Salad brings those memories to the plate with bold flavor, vibrant color, and just the right touch of bite. Perfect for dinner or a hearty lunch!
For the Salad:
1 boneless steak (sirloin, ribeye, or your favorite cut)
Salt & pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
4 cups mixed greens
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 avocado, sliced
For the Pickled Radishes:
1/2 cup radishes, thinly sliced
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup water
For the Dressing:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp honey
Salt & pepper to taste
Quick Pickle the Radishes: Combine vinegar, sugar, salt, and water in a bowl. Add radish slices and let sit for 15 minutes (or make ahead and chill).
Cook the Steak: Season steak with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear 3–4 mins per side (or to your liking). Rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
Assemble the Salad: Toss greens with tomatoes, onion, avocado, and pickled radishes.
Dress it Up: Whisk together all dressing ingredients and drizzle over the salad.
Top with steak slices and serve immediately.
Use a mandoline for perfectly thin radishes.
Letting the steak rest before slicing keeps it juicy!
Add blue cheese or feta for extra richness.
