Strawberry and Steak Salad

I've done a horrible job preparing for weekly lunches. Not only does it get costly, but I don't eat great. I decided this week I'd plan and prepare for the week.

Enter Strawberry and Steak Salad. When they say we eat with our eyes, they aren't kidding. I fell immediately for this salad photo. It has all the things I love, tossed into one salad.
