    Steak, Apple & Bleu Cheese Salad

    April 25, 2021 by burntapple Leave a Comment

    Delicious salad with juicy steak, crisp apple slices, tangy bleu cheese and a drizzle of vinaigrette.

    Salad Ingredients

    This salad uses simple ingredients that you can customize to your liking.

    • Steak: The star of the show is the steak. Grill it or pan sear it, either way works.
    • Apple slices: You can decide what type of apples you like. Make sure they are fresh and crisp.
    • Bleu cheese: Cheese is cheese but bleu cheese in this recipe just adds a little something.
    • Bacon: Bacon makes life better but can be omitted.
    • Vinaigrette: The vinaigrette in this recipe just balances everything out and makes the salad come together.

    What Kind of Steak?

    We use a good old flank steak for this recipe. It's perfect for using in salads.

    What Type of Apples?

    We recommend honeycrisp, fuji, pink lady or other similar types of apples.

    I Really Am Not a Fan of Bleu Cheese

    You are welcome to substitute feta if you would like, but the bleu cheese really adds some great flavor to the salad.

    Vinaigrette Options

    I love a regular balsamic vinaigrette or an apple cider vinaigrette. Both are delicious!
