Steak Gorgonzola Salad

Whew! We had a busy food week! I love salad when it's hot out and Ben loves Giada from the food network (I think we all know why... he says its her cooking)... put these two loves together and you have this salad. Yum!

• 1/2 head romaine lettuce, cut into bite-size pieces (I used a dark green spring mix)
• 1 large head Belgian endive, thinly sliced crosswise (about 1 1/2 cups)
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced into rings
• 12 cherry tomatoes, halved
• 4 ounces Gorgonzola, coarsely crumbled
• Red Wine Vinaigrette, recipe follows
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 pound steak  pan-fried or grilled and chilled

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, red onion, and cherry tomatoes, and half of the cheese. Toss the salad with enough vinaigrette to coat. Season the salad with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the salad on a platter.

Cut the steaks crosswise into thin slices. Arrange the steak slices atop the salad and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Drizzle more vinaigrette over the steak slices and serve.

Red Wine Vinaigrette:

• 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 2 teaspoons salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup olive oil

Thanks food network and Giada... You're a real pal:)
