OUTRAGEOUS!!!!! I made this two days ago and we are still talking about it. I had left over steak which I didn't want to throw out - I saw this recipe and tried it. I used argugala instead of spinach since that is all I had but you could use any type of greens in this. THIS IS A KEEPER! It was sooo easy. My guy suggested that I now always make extra steak so that I can make this salad. Thanks submitter.

The dressing is outstanding. Easy to prepare with few ingredients. Very satisfying as a main dish. It's even great cold as leftovers, although, I don't like it re-heated.
