This turned out great! I picked up Feta crumbles by mistake and so I ended up using that instead of blue cheese and it reminded me of a greek salad. I love blue cheese so I will use that next time.. but it's terrific that way as well. I used McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning on the steak before grilling, used apple cider vinegar instead of white wine vinegar, and added cucumber to the salad as well. I'll definitely make this one again!

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
