    When you are looking for a main course salad that never fails to satisfy, this Blue Cheese Steak Salad is perfect! With a punchy marinade and a tangy dressing, this is anything but rabbit food!Blue Cheese & Bacon Steak Salad

    Although I have a deep love for comfort food, one of my favorite things in the world is a good main course salad.

    My day is not complete unless I have one.

    Just because I'm eating salad all the time, doesn't mean I survive on rabbit food.

    Far from it.

    And it also doesn't mean that I am eating the salads I grew up on.

    You know the ones. Iceberg lettuce, carrots, cheese, and croutons all drowning in a serving or two of Ranch dressing.

    The kind made from a packet.

    Nothing wrong with that kind of salad - but I think that we can all agree that it doesn't make a meal. Certainly not one that will fuel you for long.

    With two boys, one of which will be a teenager this year, if I want to serve salad for a meal it is going to need to be a hearty one.

    One like this Blue Cheese & Bacon Steak Salad.

    It is so packed with flavor that even the foodie in the family will approve.

    I have to confess that after one bite, I wanted to save it all for myself.

    Ingredients

    • Marinade
    • ¼ cup olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    • 12 oz steak
    • Dressing
    • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
    • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon Swerve or other sweetener
    • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
    • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
    • 1 teaspoon sea salt
    • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • Salad
    • 6 pieces bacon I used turkey bacon
    • 10 ounces raw spinach
    • 2 shallots sliced thin
    • 4 ounces blue cheese crumbled

    Instructions

    • In a small bowl, combine olive oil, parsley, and crushed red pepper. Place steaks and a shallow dish and cover with marinate. Marinade for 2-3 hours in the refrigerator.
    • Make dressing by combining olive oil, vinegar, sweetener, garlic, mustard, salt and pepper in a blender. Process until smooth. Refrigerate until serving.
    • Remove steaks from refrigerator and allow to sit for 30 minutes prior to cooking.
    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high.
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange bacon in a single layer and bake for 15 minutes. Flip and bake until crisp, about 10 minutes longer. (Time will vary depending on bacon used.) Allow bacon to cool slightly and crumble.
    • Meanwhile, grill steaks for about 10-12 minutes (or until desired doneness), flipping once.
    • Place spinach and shallots in a large bowl and toss with desired amount of dressing. Divide greens among serving bowls and top with steak, bacon and blue cheese.
