"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 (907.18 g) steaks, filet mignon is my favorite
141.74 g bag spring greens (baby spring mix if available)
141.74 g bag Baby Spinach (or one to two 5.5oz bags Fresh Express brand 50/50 Mix is what we like, depending on amount needed)
946.0 ml grape tomatoes
946.0 ml broccosprouts, to taste
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 onion (walla walla or vidalia)
118.29 ml broccoli floret
118.29 ml cauliflower floret
1 cucumber, sliced and peeled
118.29 ml zucchini, chopped (cut into desired size)
118.29 ml yellow squash, chopped (cut into desired size)
236.59 ml blue cheese, crumbled
SUGGESTED STEAK SEASONINGS
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

Coat the steaks in a blend of oil and seasonings such as Montreal steak seasoning and garlic powder.
Grill to desired doneness.
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).
Depending on the number of servings desired, mix all prepared veggies in a LARGE bowl.
Mix in sliced steak and blue cheese crumbles.
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).
Serve with a nice baguette, crescent roll, and your favorite red wine.
ENJOY (hopefully outside somewhere nice!) :).

Loved this! Switched up the veggies a bit. Used arugula for the lettuce and added green beans, kalamata olives, and potatoes (of all things). Sounds odd, but it really worked with these flavors, and becomes a one dish meal. This is a definite favorite!

I LOVED LOVED LOVED this! So COLORFUL and full of veggies! I made it as directed but used red and yellow bell pepper. I seasoned my meat with onion salt, creole seasoning and black pepper. We enjoyed it with vinigrette. This was great to eat on the South Beach diet, a full meal. Thanks for this KEEPER recipe!
