minutesIngredients
- For the Salad:
2 cups mixed greens (lettuce, spinach, arugula, etc.)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cucumber, sliced
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
4-6 ounces leftover grilled steak, sliced
- For the Blue Cheese Dressing:
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions
- Preparing the Blue Cheese Dressing:
- In a small bowl, combine the crumbled blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, white wine vinegar, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Mix everything until well combined. You can adjust the thickness of the dressing by adding more sour cream or vinegar as desired. Set aside.
- Assembling the Salad:
- In a large salad bowl, layer the mixed greens.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion on top of the greens.
- If your leftover steak is cold, you can reheat it quickly in a skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, just until it’s warm.
- Arrange the warm sliced steak on the salad.
- Serving the Salad:
- Drizzle the prepared blue cheese dressing over the salad.
- Sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans on top for added crunch and flavor.
Notes
- If you prefer your steak to be hot, you can briefly heat it in the microwave or a low oven before adding it to the salad. However, it’s important not to overcook it to maintain its tenderness.
- Customize your salad by adding ingredients like avocado slices, croutons, or bacon bits for extra texture and flavor.
