Simple Salad

Simple Salad

I made this salad for one of our famous Sunday night meals. We had left over steak that I used as an ingredient. The steak was a bone in Rib-eye and it was so good, it turned out to be a great addition to my salad. You can use any type of leftover meat in this salad and I'm sure it would work.

Ingredients:
Ice Burg Lettuce
Fresh Spinach Leaves
(Equal Mixture of both)
Rib-eye

Steak cut into very small pieces
Black Olives
Fresh Tomatoes (Salt and Peppered)
2 Slices of Provolone Cheese (Cut into long thin slices)
Fresh Carrots (Use a Peeler to create long thin slices)
Hard Boiled Egg Whites
