Meat with Salad

Salmon with Blueberry Salad

Salmon with Blueberry Salad

Linda Larsen
In the cookbooks and magazines I've been reading, a new trend seems to be meat served topped with, not accompanied by, a salad. You can accomplish this by placing a small amount of your favorite green salad on top of a freshly grilled steak, or you can add some greens to a homemade salsa recipe. Or you can try one of these delicious recipes.

For best results, let the broiled, sauteed, or grilled meat stand for about 5 minutes before topping with the salad mixture and serving. And be sure to never let the salad mixture come in contact with uncooked meats or marinades. Now have fun!

Meats with Salad

  • Steak with Avocado Tomato Salad
    Wow, this combination is incredible. You could add chopped mushrooms and cucumbers, but as is, this recipe is perfect.
  • Halibut with Nicoise Salad
    Nicoise salad is typically made with green beans, tomatoes, lettuce, olives, and hard cooked eggs. This mixture is simplified for this delicious recipe. You could use any fish fillets or steaks that you'd like.
  • Salmon with Blueberry Grape Salad
    This gorgeous recipe combines two of the best ingredients for your health: salmon and blueberries. It's fresh and delicious. Yum!
  • Chicken with Bacon Mushroom Salad
    Bacon adds a salty dimension to a simple salad that tops tender marinated grilled chicken breasts in this easy recipe.
  • Grilled Chicken with Kiwi Salad
    A ginger mango vinaigrette acts as salad dressing and marinade for this easy recipe. If you can't find that specific salad dressing, look for any fruit-flavored dressing in the product aisle of your local grocery store.
  • Red Snapper with Citrus Salad
    Bottled citrus salad is the secret ingredient in this fresh and delicious recipe. And it's so good for you too!
  • Salmon with Spinach Cherry Salad
    Fresh bing cherries combined with salmon is just one of the best ideas ever. Enjoy this easy five ingredient recipe.
  • Pork Chops with Avocado Melon Salad
    This unusual combination of fruits is one of my favorites. You could add salad greens to the fruit mixture if you'd like.
  • Steak with Blue Cheese Cucumber Salad
    The combination of steak and blue cheese is one of the best in the world. Add some cucumber and tomatoes and you have a real winner of a meal!
