Chickpea Salad with Seared Sirloin
This addictive salad’s texture and flavor will make your mouth sing. It’s a great way to use up leftover steak or grilled vegetables. Plan ahead and make a double batch of cauliflower so you can add it to other salads or enjoy it on its own as a side dish. Canola oil’s neutral taste lets the vinaigrette’s lime flavors shine.
INGREDIENTES
- 1 sirloin steak (12 oz/375 g), about 1½ inches (3 cm) thick
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro 15 mL
- 1 tsp chili powder 5 mL
- canola oil cooking spray
- 1 small head cauliflower

- 1 Tbsp canola oil 15 mL

INSTRUCCIONES
- 1. Trim any visible fat from steak. Combine cilantro and chili powder. Lightly cover steak with canola oil cooking spray and rub spice mixture over steak and let stand for 10 minutes.
