Gorgonzola Steak Salad

My sister Tricia is really good at throwing together healthy ideas.  My favorites are her salads!  In this case it's made with steak.  As you can see from the picture I (and Tricia) like our steak still moving (sorry if it looks a bit rare for you :).  I'm thinking this might be a great idea is you have left-over steak. 

Gorgonzola Steak Salad

5 oz. of spring mix greens
1/4 red onion, cut into thin rings
1 sweet potato, cooked, cooled and cut into cubes
6 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 - 8 oz. steak (such as rib eye or new york strip), grilled and cut into thin slices
2 oz. (or to taste) Gorgonzola cheese
Red Wine Vinaigrette (recipe below)

In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, red onion, 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 slices and sweet potato on top of the salad and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Drizzle more vinaigrette over the steak slices and serve.

Red Wine Vinaigrette
1/4 c. red wine vinegar
1-1/2 T. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. honey
1 tsp. salt
freshly ground black pepper
1/2 c. olive oil

Mix the vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper in a blender.  With the machine running, gradually blend in oil.
