Gyro Steak Salad

1 1/2 lbs skirt steak
1 1/2 cups garlic (newman s own® herb roasted, marinade)
1 1/2 cups non-fat yogurt (plain)
1 clove clove garlic (minced)
1/2 tsp paprika 2 tbsps lime (newman's own® lighten up® light, vinaigrette)
1 seedless cucumber (1/2 grated for dressing 1/2 cubed for salad)
pita breads (pockets quartered)
2 heads romaine lettuce (chopped)
1/2 cup red peppers (jarred roasted red peppers chopped)
1/2 cup kalamata olives (halved)
1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)
2 tomatoes (seeded and diced)
1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled)

Marinate steak with marinade for 30 minutes or longer. Heat indoor grill pan or outdoor grill over high heat.

Cucumber Lime Tzatziki dressing: In a bowl, stir together yogurt, garlic, paprika, lime vinaigrette and grated cucumber. Cover and chill.

Remove steak from marinade and discard marinade. Grill steak on one side until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn steak over and cook to medium-rare, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Let stand for 5 minutes then slice thinly against the grain. Brush pita triangles with olive oil then place on grill, watching closely, until golden brown.

In a large salad bowl toss lettuce, chopped cucumber, red peppers, olives, onion, tomatoes and feta. Divide salad evenly among plates, top with steak and pitas. Drizzle with dressing. Enjoy!

Personally, I'll make a couple of changes. I only like vidalia onions and I'll use black olives.
