Pair Perfectly With BBQ: Classic Steakhouse Salad

The steakhouse salad is a classic side dish that has been served in American steakhouses for decades. Its origins can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries when steakhouses became popular in major cities like New York and Chicago. The salad was designed to complement the rich, hearty flavors of steak dishes, providing a refreshing contrast with its crisp greens and tangy dressing.
