Kev Tip
Grill the corn with the steak.
That extra char gives the salad a deeper, sweeter flavor and makes it feel more like a restaurant bowl.
Make It Fit Your Macros
Lower calorie: use sirloin or flank steak, reduce avocado, and keep dressing measured.
Higher protein: increase steak portion or use a leaner cut.
Lower fat: use Greek yogurt instead of mayo and reduce oil in the dressing.

Salad / Meal Prep Notes
This is a real meal salad.
You get protein from steak, carbs from corn, fats from avocado and dressing, and volume from arugula and tomatoes.
Best texture move.
Do not dress the whole salad if meal prepping. Keep dressing on the side so the arugula stays crisp.
