Ginger Steak Salad

Found this in The Wichita Eagle & am adding to my arsenal of summer salad dinners. They adapted it from The Pioneer Woman blog. The bright flavors of the marinade should make it a refreshing supper with loads of multi-coloured cherry tomatoes, peppers, onions & greens from the garden. May never notice there's no starch to weigh a person down on a hot & humid summer evening. I suspect this marinade lends itself well to OMAC - marinating & freezing the steaks for faster prep well all the tired sandy beach goers tromp home wanting supper now!
