We're in love with this skirt steak salad. A base of fluffy quinoa then has plenty of greens piled on, a little sweetness from the grapes balanced with the tang of feta cheese - this salad has it all! Feel free to swap the quinoa for couscous if that's what you have on hand, it's great too.
We love using skirt steak for it's beautiful flavour - you do need to watch while cooking to make sure you don't end up with tough and chewy strips.
