This steak salad makes a hearty meal and perfect for a Thursday night dinner or any night of the week!
Grilled seasoned steak on a bed of spinach with cherry tomatoes, cranberries, candied pecans and blue cheese tossed in a champagne vinaigrette.
This is the ultimate in steak salads and very simple to make. This is a wonderful salad to entertain with as well. My family doesn't eat much red meat, but when they do this salad is definitely the way to go!
