My Version of Cubby's Tri-tip Salad

Today I am sharing one of my favorite salads. This is from a little restaurant in Provo, Utah called Cubby's. They have a wide selection on their menu, but every time I'm in the area, I make sure to stop in for their tri-tip salad.  It is a really great gluten-free option that is mouth watering & filling!

Now that we live in Ohio, we haven't been able to find anything remotely similar. So, I decided to make my own version{which turned out to be really dang close to the original}. If you've tried this salad before, then you know how addictive it can be. I have been living off of this salad for the past couple weeks and I don't see me switching it up anytime soon{yes, it's that good}.

 It's been so interesting for me to see the wide range of cravings this pregnancy {a midst my incessant nausea}. It feels like the last month or so my palette has changed dramatically. As of late, I have been gravitating towards dark greens, fruit & steak. Clearly, it's my bodies way of telling me to increase my nutrition. 

The salad is made up of sliced almonds, roasted bell peppers, scallions, dried cherries, tomatoes, feta cheese, spring greens & romaine lettuce & tri-tip steak{I'm sure you could substitute your favorite steak}.

I don't think you can do this salad justice without the cilantro-lime vinaigrette dressing. It pulls all the flavors together and truly completes the meal.
