Road trip this summer? Sponsored
by Best Western Peppery arugula,
sweet bell peppers, and seared
steak combine in this healthy,
flavorful salad. It works great on
its own as a light meal or as part
of a brunch buffet. What to buy:
Agave nectar, also known as agave
syrup, is available at health food
stores and online. If you can't
find agave nectar, just substitute
Rich Simple Syrup or a few
teaspoons of granulated sugar. Game
plan: The flank steak, beans, and
dressing can be made up to 1 day
ahead and refrigerated in separate
covered containers, so that you
just have to throw everything
together when ready to serve. For a
slacker solution, substitute canned
beans and use a high-quality
store-bought lime vinaigrette. If
you want to go outdoors with the
steak, heat a grill to medium high
(375 degrees F) and grill uncovered
for 8 minutes for medium rare. Read
more about grilling. This recipe
was featured as part of our New
Year's Day Brunch menu.
