My DH made this salad rather frequently during my pregnancy as I was craving it! Many of our friends got really used to having this served for dinners during that time! ;) Toss with your favorite vinaigrette dressing and serve with a nice crusty baguette and a lovely red wine!!! (Post baby, of course) :) Ingredients:
4 (8 ounce) steaks, filet mignon is my favorite |
1 (5 ounce) bag spring greens (baby spring mix if available) |
1 (5 ounce) bag baby spinach (or one to two 5.5oz bags fresh express brand 50/50 mix is what we like, depending on amount needed) |
1 quart grape tomatoes |
1 quart broccosprouts, to taste |
1 green bell pepper, diced |
1/2 onion (walla walla or vidalia) |
1/2 cup broccoli floret |
1/2 cup cauliflower floret |
1 cucumber, sliced and peeled |
1/2 cup zucchini, chopped (cut into desired size) |
1/2 cup yellow squash, chopped (cut into desired size) |
1 cup blue cheese, crumbled |
mccormick's montreal brand steak seasoning, to taste (optional) |
olive oil, to taste (optional) |
garlic powder, to taste (optional) |
rudy's barbecue sauce, to taste (optional) |
Directions:
1. Coat the steaks in a blend of oil and seasonings such as Montreal steak seasoning and garlic powder.
2. Grill to desired doneness.
3. Apply a brushing of bbq sauce, if desired before allowing meat to rest for 5 minutes prior to slicing. ( Rudy's BBQ sauce is a nice one if you aren't sprucing one up or making your own).
4. Depending on the number of servings desired, mix all prepared veggies in a LARGE bowl.
5. Mix in sliced steak and blue cheese crumbles.
6. At this point you can either dress the entire salad with a nice vinaigrette and toss lightly before serving, or allow each guest to select their own dressing. (a vinaigrette compliments the flavors best).
7. Serve with a nice baguette, crescent roll, and your favorite red wine.
8. ENJOY (hopefully outside somewhere nice!) :).
