This recipe for Steak Salad with Blue Cheese Vinaigrette is an all-time favorite of my family's. My husband Ted is from Kansas City, and being that he comes from the heart of the mid-west he loves his steak. We rarely go out to eat steak because he has mastered the art of grilling the perfect steak. Here at Casa Linda we have cut back on the amount of red meat we eat, so when he grills steak we often have a left over steak. Left over steak is perfect for making a delicious steak salad. This is a recipe that I have perfected over the years and it pairs perfectly with the blue cheese vinaigrette. It makes a perfect light dinner option or a nice lunch option as well. The petite heirloom tomatoes are from my garden, this is a great way to use up those garden tomatoes. I hope you enjoy this family favorite. As always, I am looking forward to hearing from you. Let me know what you think about this recipe.
Bon Appetit,
Cecelia
