BALSAMIC STEAK SALAD



Balsamic Steak Salad image

My husband loves blue cheese and I like a hearty salad that eats like a meal, so I put the two things together to make this steak salad recipe. The sweet-tartness of dried cranberries pairs deliciously with the cheese, creamy avocado and balsamic vinegar. It's irresistible! -Marla Clark, Albuquerque, New Mexico
