Ingredients
- 1 pound steak (Ribeye Steak or New York Strip steak), pan-fried or grilled Steak can be chilled or hot. We prefer chilled

- 12 cherry tomatoes halved
- 4 ounces Gorgonzola or Blue Cheese crumbled

- 2 tsp honey

Instructions
Red Wine Vineaigrette Instructions:
- Mix the vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a blender. Gradually blend in olive oil. No blender? You can add ingredients to a jar and shake gently until thoroughly mixed.
Salad Assembly Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens (spinach, baby arugula, romaine lettuce, or your favorite salad greens), red onion, cherry tomatoes and half of the cheese.
- Toss the salad with enough vinaigrette salad dressing to coat. Season the salad with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the salad on a large platter.
- Next, arrange the cold, sliced steak atop the salad and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Drizzle more vinaigrette over the steak slices and serve.
