Steak with Warm Sweet-Potato Salad
Celery aids digestion and helps maintain the body’s alkaline balance, while eating sweet potato with a fat (there’s olive oil in the dressing) ensures you absorb its beta-carotene benefits.

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine dressing ingredients; set aside. Boil sweet and baby potatoes until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place steaks on a greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until cooked to your liking (6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare). Let stand for 5 minutes on a cutting board; thinly slice against the grain. Reduce grill heat to medium; thread tomatoes onto skewers and grill, turning once, until lightly charred, a couple of minutes.
- To the salad dressing bowl, add drained warm potatoes, yellow pepper, celery, onion and spinach, stirring gently to coat and wilt spinach leaves. Divide salad, steak slices and tomato skewers among 4 plates.
