The humble skirt steak is given a quick and simple treatment to ensure maximum flavour and tenderness in this delicious salad. This is about using your barbecue or grill plate - we want the ease of having no dishes and the joy of cooking outside.

The dressing is a simple vinaigrette and that means it's flexible. No balsamic vinegar? Sub it for red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar instead.
