Flank Steak Salad with fresh vegetables and gorgonzola blue cheese is the bomb.

A perfect lunch or light supper: Flank Steak Salad

Flank Steak Salad makes an elegant meal.

Flank Steak Salad takes about 10 minutes to whip together if you have leftover flank steak or 25 minutes if you have to cook the steak. And doesn’t it look amazing? I used fresh mixed lettuces, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, a bit of onion, and a couple slices of orange bell pepper as my base salad.

Then I added a few slices of warmed up flank steak, and topped it all with some awesome gorgonzola blue cheese made by monks in Canada. I have never been a big blue cheese fan, but this cheese changed my mind. OMG. It is so freaking good. Your salad will still be good without it. Add a little feta or parmesan instead. But really, get yourself some gorgonzola.

It’s July. The beginning of the hottest part of the summer and Independence Day. This month also marks Don’s and my 18th wedding anniversary. Time flies, doesn’t it? Because of the pandemic, we will be celebrating our anniversary at home, just the two of us. How romantic is that? And we just bought a new porch swing, so we will be swinging away, drinking our gin and tonics.

July is “July Belongs to Blueberries Month” and I’ll be featuring several blueberry recipes that I think you will like. Take at look at my friend’s Blueberry Buckle recipe. Everyone raves about it.

Or make some Blueberry Compote to put over your Buttermilk Pancakes. Yum!

Good food can more than nourish you, it can heal you. Thank goodness! Because I developed several health issues a few years ago. I learned I had food sensitivities and what a pain (literally) that is. Food helped me heal my gut and my heart. Keep reading for the full story….
