This is a gr8 recipe.. I followed it pretty closely, however, I used NY strip steak as thats what I had on hand, I grilled it, let it rest and then sliced it very thinly. I'm not a fan fruity dressings, I usedd a simple oil & vinegar dressing and topped the salad with crumbled feta, red onion and a little bit of fresh parsley.. SUPERB!

Deeee-Lish! We just had friends over for dinner and made this salad. Everyone went back for seconds - in fact, we polished it off, and made the kids eat other stuff... I used Poppyseed Dressing submitted by Paula on AllRecipes, and it was perfect. I also added gorgonzola, and it made it for me. I did try a bite with a bit of tomato, and decided tomato did not have the right taste for this salad for me, so I did not add the tomato to the whole salad. Huge hit! Will definitely pull out again when I have company I want to impress. Thanks.

We tried this salad after a block party at church last night and it was quick and wonderful! My husband who doesnt normally eat fruit or nuts in his food, loved it as did our 11 year old.I followed the recipe and only lightly seasoned the beef while cooking with alittle garlic and onion powder.I added thinly sliced red onion to the salad. I also used a raspberry vinegarette from this site submitted by Jan that is to die for!! We will add this to our regular rotation. Thank you for this very fast and very tasty recipe.

This salad was really good. A nice change from meat and potatos. Even my kids liked the salad. Used Lite Raspberry Vinaigrette with the kids, Balsamic Vinaigrette for the adults. Delicious.

Out of this world! We used vegetarian steak strips and cooked them with lime pepper and white wine. I caramelized the walnuts with 2 TB of brown sugar, a tsp of oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and a pinch of cayenne (Thanks, Emeril). I threw some spices and olive oil on the tomatoes and added these neat garlic-ginger flavored wonton crisps, as well as the citrus vinaigrette mentioned below, and it will stand out in our memories as one of the best meals of the year!

This is VERY, VERY good. It is easy to make and I have made it many times for parties and holiday events. I season the steak with a seasoning salt as it cooks. I also add 1/2 cup Gorgonzola cheese and I use halved cherry tomatoes instead of sliced tomatoes. I use the following for the dressing (can be found on this site): "Orange, Walnut, Gorgonzola and Mixed Greens Salad with Fresh Citrus Vinaigrette". I highly recommend this salad to everyone!

this was good and i added the gorgonzola and ken's raspberry dressing from other reviews...i would not use that dressing again-way overpowering. i will use a lemon balsamic vinagrette next time and candied pecans (personal preference). my husband really liked this and he was quite skeptical of a steak salad.
