Every time that I need a complete EASY meal in a few minutes, I always come back to this steak and chickpea salad<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The steak salad<\/strong> is a protein-packed dish served over fresh greens. It usually includes cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and onion, but this version includes my favorite recipe, a gift directly from my dad that unified all the flavors of the steak and vegetables: An authentic Uruguayan chimichurri<\/a>. Giving you the SECRET to the BEST Steak and Chickpea Salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Chimichurri Is The KEY To This Salad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Steak salad is a really easy meal to pull together. In about 30 minutes you have a complete bowl with protein, fresh vegetables and full of flavor. The steak is cooked quickly over high heat so it stays juicy inside, then rested for a few minutes before slicing so the juices stay in the meat instead of running into the salad. Roasting the chickpeas also makes a big difference. They get lightly crisp and hold their shape, which gives the salad more texture than using them straight from the can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real KEY here is the chimichurri. The parsley, garlic, olive oil and red wine vinegar cuts through the steak and creamy avocado while coating the tomatoes, cucumber and chickpeas. Instead of a heavy dressing, it acts like a fresh sauce that flavors the entire salad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
