Creamy Avocado Dressing: Blend avocado, Greek yogurt, garlic, and lemon juice for a creamy dressing that adds a rich texture.
Crunchy Toppings: Consider adding nuts like toasted almonds or sunflower seeds for an extra crunch that balances the tenderness of the steak and veggies.
Spicy Kick: For those who like heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or drizzle sriracha over your bowl for an extra zing!
