Grilled Steak, Arugula, & Peach Salad

For me, summertime means peaches, patios, and food cooked outside. To enjoy all the summer has to offer this is one of my favorite summertime salads. This is a perfect fast weeknight dinner or it makes a great potluck or picnic addition.

I am not a big red meat fan as I personally find it hard to digest and it can be inflammatory in nature. However, in the summertime, I will indulge in a grilled steak or this steak salad definitely hits the spot.

This salad is packed with protein, fiber, iron, antioxidants, and vitamins. I find it is a perfect way to enjoy a little grilled steak without feeling heavy or bloated afterward. This salad brings together all the flavors of summer and packs a whopping 34g of protein, 4g of fiber, and only 22 carbs.
