Since the weather is really starting to heat up, it’s the perfect time to make our Summer Steak Salad recipe! It’s such a great and diverse meal for both weekend get togethers or to make ahead of time to enjoy for quick and easy weeknight meals. I love using as much seasonal fruit as possible and the possibilities are endless. You can add some blanched or grilled green beans, swap the strawberries out for sweet, pitted cherries, omit the mint for some fresh basil, use whatever cheese you have on hand. We promise this Summer Steak Salad will soon become a household favorite! Enjoy! xx, Jenny

Made this awesome Summer Steak Salad last night! I’m in Arizona where it was 111 degrees and wanted something light and fresh. Well…this recipe was it and included almost all food groups! Fantastic blend of flavors that one would never think to combine. So easy to make and do NOT leave out the wonderful “Mint”!! The bleu cheese dressing was absolutely wonderful and I think I will also use it on a Wedge Salad, and of course will add some bacon to that! THANK YOU for this outstanding salad!
Thanks for this awesome recipe. I will try it soon
