    Steak Salad with Low Calorie Blue Cheese Dressing

    I don’t know ONE person over the age of 35 who actually looks forward to prancing around the beach in their swimsuit. They stick to your skin when wet. They take forever to dry. They accentuate your blubbery parts from one too many brownies. Swimsuit designers must be laughing their way to the bank because $100 for a piece of clothing that’s smaller than your kids’ socks … Pleeeeeeese! And still, we do it. We stomach the undressing in front of complete strangers, but once we get over those initial 2 minutes and let the sound of the waves comfort us, we remember why we put ourselves through the torture. That’s why Steak Salad with Low Calorie Blue Cheese Dressing is a must around here … because I have a swimsuit I have to get into. Gulp!

    Rib Eye Steak


    Steak. Oh steak. I’m not much of a carnivore, but the hubs and our Little Red are big meat eaters. MEN! I can appreciate a good piece of steak though. You see that crust around the fat? That’s called magic. Crusty, deliciousness, full of flavor. I love freshly cracked pepper on my steak. You can grill it, but this piece of meat was cooked in a grill pan. Before assembling your Steak Salad with Low Calorie Blue Cheese Dressing, let the meat rest a few minutes, or you will lose all the yummy juices. You can’t have that!

    Pouring Blue Cheese Dressing to the Steak Salad with Low Calorie


     

    This isn’t your typical blue cheese dressing. The Greek Yogurt and Light Mayonnaise bring the calories WAY down. To distract from the tangy Greek Yogurt or the mayo taste, I added some cayenne and sweet red peppers. Then blended it all up in the food processor. If you want more texture to your dressing, mix gently with a spoon in a big bowl. Hope you enjoy!

      I love salad and I love steak and it seems like bleu cheese would be exactly the thing to tie them together! Pinned it.

      Hi Maggie,

      Swimsuits, oh please no! If I do not fit, I move on and that’s it! At least I want to make sure that I fit on the one I have from the previous year. As for your salad, it looks delicious. I love pairing my steak with salad so this is the perfect combo for me. Time to try it. Thank you!

        My swimsuit from last year somehow ended up in the dryer. Ruined it completely! I’m in the middle of buying a new one. It’s quite the adventure. Lol. Hope you enjoy the salad. 🙂
