Steak Fajita Salad

If you are one of the many people following the Slimming World (SW) plan and get stuck for what to cook for dinner, don’t worry, I’ve got your back!

The Steak Fajita Salad recipe has been adapted from an official SW magazine.

We love Mexican and Tex-Mex food, but all of the delicious extras (like cheese, sour cream guacamole, and tortillas) combined will be a lot of Syns.

And I know that no food is off-limits on SW, but I’m really keeping an eye on the amount of Syns I have each day.

This salad takes some of the flavors from classic fajitas which makes it a happy medium. I actually dolloped a spoonful of fat-free Greek yogurt on mine!

I could have also used one of my Healthy Extra A choices on some cheese, and I think that would have been perfect.

There are many layers of flavor in this fajita salad, with pickled onions (that you make with lime juice and salt), red peppers cooked with spices, fresh tomatoes, fresh coriander leaves, and black beans.

Of course, there is the steak too, but I think it would work just as well with chicken or even prawns/shrimp.

This recipe for Steak Fajita Salad serves 4 and is Free when Food Optimising. It is also a great recipe for when you have as Easy SP day.
