Tarragon Steak Dinner Salad

Dear Reader,

I have been wanting to share this beyond-awesome recipe with you for some time, but life has been getting in the way… until now.

Despite my life-time aversion to the salad world (which I have been working on), we so love this salad… so much so that we are having it for dinner again tonight.

You can find the recipe in 101 Soups, Salads & Sandwiches ( or the Kindle Version).

I started by “grilling” my steak in a broiler.

While it rested, I arranged my lettuce in our bowls. We used a Butter Bliss Lettuce mix.

We were out of red onions, so I chopped up a shallot to add to the greens.

I then sliced up two pears and added them.

Now, I am usually anti fruit in my salad, but trust me, this sooo works in this salad.

I then sliced up my steak and added it to each salad.

Now throw on a little crumbled blue cheese…

And drizzle on your homemade Red Wine Vinaigrette…

Fancy, super difficult?

Nah…

Just mix 1 part red wine vinegar with 2 parts Extra Virgin Olive Oil… add a little lemon juice if desired… some honey if you want it a little sweeter.

Add salt and pepper

And 1/2 T dried Tarragon Leaves (or 1 T fresh).

Mix up and drizzle on.

My man carnivore completely enjoyed this meal! He says it is one of the best dishes I have ever made… sounds like a keeper to me!

(The carnivore and the recipe ;)).
