STRAWBERRY-BLUE CHEESE STEAK SALAD

Strawberry-Blue Cheese Steak Salad image

At lunch one day, a friend told me about a steak salad she'd had at a party. It sounded so fantastic I had to try it for myself. My family would eat it nonstop if we could. Can't seem to get enough of that tangy dressing! -Alma Winberry, Great Falls, Montana
