Steak Salad with Nectarines, Radicchio, and Blue Cheese

Just loved this salad. The various flavors made it so satisfying I ate less than usual. Very fresh easy and enjoyable. We made a few substitutions for what we had on hand; peaches, red wine vinegar, and Gorgonzola cheese. This recipe is a keeper while summer fruit is so fresh.

We loved this salad. I had leftover flank steak from the fabulous CL Bourbon and Brown Sugar Flank Steak, which I sliced thin and reheated for thirty seconds in a teaspon of sizzling butter.  I used 1/2 the nectarines listed, which gave room for some quartered fresh figs and strawberries. The dressing is great, too.  Since I wasn't sure salad for supper would be enough for my husband, I made a simple potato chowder as a first course.  The whole meal was so delicious!

Sometimes, you've just gotta trust the experts when it comes to flavor combinations. I'm glad I did!

I happened to have some leftover Whiskey marinated Tenderloin (CL recipe) and since I had all the other ingredients on hand, I thought I would try this recipe. The whole family loved it! Such a simple recipe with little work for a great dish! I was wary of the nectarine (I had white peaches) but they combined so well with the other ingredients. The vinaigrette was very light and let the other flavors carry the dish. I will definitely make this again!

This salad was easy to prepare and very tasty. I used spinach rather than lettuce because that is what I had on hand and it was great
