Salads are not my normal content even though I eat them a lot! But they are usually just a normal every day salad. You know, Iceberg lettuce, some veggies, maybe some cheese, croutons and dressing. The typical salad you get at a restaurant before your dinner comes! But I do like to get adventurous and I am always inspired by the beautiful salads I see on social media and even on TV! So today was one of those days that I decided to dig in my produce drawer and see what I could come up with. And let me just say OH MY GOSH!!! THIS Grilled Steak and Roasted Corn Salad WAS INCREDIBLE!!!! I am truly proud of myself for this one!! If it was on a restaurant menu, I would order it every time I was there! It is that good! It is full of veggies, roasted corn, grilled filet mignon, a cajun honey vinaigrette you will want to drink and more! Let’s get into it!

What you will need to make Grilled Steak and Roasted Corn Salad
- Red Bell Pepper
- Green Bell Pepper
- Red Onion

How to Make Grilled Steak and Roasted Corn Salad:
You will start by brushing 2 pieces of sweet corn with olive oil, then sprinkling them with salt and pepper and a dash of cajun seasoning. Put them in the air fryer at 400 degrees for about 12-15 minutes.
While the corn is cooking cut up the red onion and peppers into small uniform sized pieces. You want to chop up 1 or 2 avocados as well. I did not get a good picture of this process! Oops! Go ahead and chop up about a half a bunch of cilantro as well, if you like cilantro! If not, just omit it from the recipe!
When the corn is done, carefully use a sharp knife to remove the kernels from the cob.
For the Dressing:
To make the dressing, mix together 1/2 cup of olive oil, the juice of 1 lime, 1/3 cup of honey, 1 tsp of salt and about 1/2 tsp of cajun seasoning. I love this Slap Ya Mama but any will do!

For the steak, I simply marinated a couple 4 oz filets in olive oil and sprinkled them with salt and pepper. I cooked them in my cast iron skillet over a medium high heat until they were cooked to a medium temp. Then I cut them into bite sized pieces.
Lastly, I assembled everything in a bowl, poured the dressing over and gave it a really good mix! Then I dug in and enjoyed it thoroughly!!!
