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

Toss the steak with your favorite salad dressing. A simple vinaigrette or a creamy dressing would both be delicious.
Add some fresh vegetables to your salad. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and avocado.
Top the salad with some crumbled cheese. Parmesan, cheddar, or feta would all be good choices.
