.....bleu cheese crumbles, homemade sourdough croutons, and bleu cheese dressing. Perhaps some good cherry tomatoes, too.

and red onions it is. I was debating adding these.

Serve with toasted bread rubbed with a glove of garlic.

PS. Forgot: Steak thinly sliced on top of the salad.

I LOVE steak salads. One I used to eat when I worked at a large corporate office building is one of the few things I can't stop eating. (Therefore, I make it sparingly.) But it's awesome.

It's a "hot/cold" salad idea. The base greens are romaine or any combination of hearty lettuces that can take a little heat from the sauteed accompaniments.

Here's the rest:

Make a honey-mustard dressing (mayo, honey, mustard, seasonings you like). Make it a bit thin.

For the saute:
Infuse some olive oil with garlic, however much you like (I like a lot). Strain and reserve the infused oil.
Use the garlic oil to saute some sliced red onion, sliced mushroom, julienne carrot; however crisp-tender you like it.
Use more of the garlic oil to saute some steak strips (or, easier yet, brush the garlic oil on the steak and grill/broil it, rest it, and then cut into strips).

Top the cold lettuces with the warm red onion, mushrooms, carrot and steak. Then top with the honey-mustard dressing.

I'm not sure why this works, but to me at least, it's addictive.

it. Maybe next time I will try it your way.

Shredded Romaine, cherry tomatoes, little fresh mozzarella balls, roasted peppers and a hint of red onion

I like it really simple enough so the steak stands out.
