After enjoying the black and blue steak sandwich so much I just had to try it in salad form as the idea of a black and blue steak salad was what inspired the sandwich in the first place. A sweet and tart balsamic vinegar is the perfect foil for the creamy and tangy blue cheese so I knew that the base of my salad was going to be salad greens in a balsamic vinaigrette but I could not stop there as things seemed a little bit too boring. While I was thinking about it, my mind wandered to wondering what I was going to do with the asparagus that I had picked up at the market and I had my answer; add it to the salad. Since I was going to be grilling the steak I figured, why dirty any other dishes when grilled asparagus is so good? I often like to pair red peppers with asparagus and some grilled red peppers were bound to work wonders in the salad. The black and blue steak salad turned out amazingly well! The moist, tender an juicy steak was a delight and the blue cheese, balsamic vinaigrette, asparagus and red peppers played really well together almost like dancing in your mouth. Salads with a bit of grilled meat like this steak salad are ideal light meals for summer and it is always nice when you can include some seasonal local ingredients like the asparagus.
