A Recipe a Day- Steak and Spinach Salad

This sounds like a great salad for when the warm weather returns.

When I make a salad, I really try for layers of flavors. For example, I would use a trimmed sirloin and marinate it. Most of the time I use the vinaigrette that will be served over the top of the salad as the marinade. For more flavor, I would grill the steak rather than pan frying it.

I would also add crumbled blue cheese or gorgonzola. If I used cranberries, I would use a cranberry vinaigrette and if I used dried cherries, I would use a cherry or raspberry vinaigrette.

I wouldn't put tomato on this, I don't think it goes well. Maybe some red onion would be nice, instead.

I'll skip the cranberries and walnuts and keep the maters; even throw on some red onion, too. I'd use a plain vinaigrette, but at least eat the spinach. Grilled steak is the best, though I'll put it on the side and not right on the salad.

I love garbanzos on salad too, John. We can usually find both.

Thanks all!
