“Shop local”, “eat local” and “know where your food comes from” are not trendy p.c. phrases that will fade anytime soon.

Black & Blue Salad
The steak I selected for this Black & Blue Salad recipe is a skirt steak, that had beautiful marbling and only needed a little salt & pepper to season.
It grilled perfectly… if I do say so myself.
When it’s done to your liking, remove and let rest for about 5 minutes before slicing, providing even more juicy tenderness.
And if you’re wondering … it does taste as heavenly as it looks! I mean seriously … soooo good, and so much better than the steaks I’ve bought at grocery stores.
After giving it a proper rest, slice and lay atop fresh green leaf lettuce and homemade blue cheese dressing. Add a few ripe cherry tomatoes for a burst of flavor.
Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe
This homemade blue cheese dressing was so simple and required only 3 ingredients:
- 1 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1 cup plain Greek nonfat yogurt
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
Mix together well, season as desired with salt & pepper.
That’s exactly how easy it is to have a healthy steak dinner, in the form of Black and Blue Salad with a homemade blue cheese dressing recipe! Make sure to pin this recipe so you can refer to later.
