Submitted by breezermom

"This salad is great, in that it only takes about 30 minutes to throw together using leftover grilled steak. I have adapted it from a chicken salad recipe from cooking light."

Delicious entree salad, a great combination together and easy for a complete meal. I used less mustard and added some blue cheese to it. I am sure adding whatever veggies you like would work as well. Thanks for this recipe!

We loved it! The crispy green salad is such a nice compliment to the grilled steak! I added a few garlic croutons and some shredded cheddar cheese. After reading the other reviews and knowing from past experience that dressings made with red wine vinegar are too tart for us, I switched it to apple cider vinegar instead. This change worked out really well for us. Thanks, breezermom! Made for 123 tag.

Liked this very much. Used a mix of romaine and arugula for the greens. I also found the dressing a bit too tart and would change it a bit next time. I added some gold cherry tomatoes which added some nice color to the salad. Also added some fresh thyme, as it looked so nice in the garden. An easy and tasty light meal.

This salad was definitely a meal, and it was easy and quick for a weeknight. All I had was iceberg lettuce, but it worked very well. I had mixed reviews at the table. DH said he would have preferred his steak, potatoes, asparagus and salad separately. DS loved it and gave it a high 5. I thought it was a 4, yummy but the dressing a little too tart for my preference. So I averaged it all out and gave it a solid 4 stars. Thanks for posting!
