BLACK AND BLUE STEAK SALAD
The black and blue salad, a combination of spice-rubbed, blackened chicken or steak and crumbled blue cheese, is a staple of the American gastropub menu. Unfortunately, the "salad" interpretation is a bit loose-the lettuce merely a bed for a Flinstone-sized protein serving, the butter-yellow croutons, tons of cheese, and creamy dressing blanketing all. We kept the chargrilled steak, blue cheese, and crisp croutons you love, then topped off with good-for-you avocado and a vinaigrette that complements the vegetables rather than disguise them. A little meat goes a long way: just 12 ounces is plenty to serve 4.

Steps:

- Arrange bread on a rimmed baking sheet; coat with cooking spray. Broil 2 minutes or until toasted, stirring once after 1 minute.
- 3. Heat a grill pan over medium-high. Combine salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Rub spice mixture evenly over steak. Add steak to pan; grill 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until desired degree of doneness. Place steak on a cutting board. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut across the grain into thin slices.
- 4. Combine oil, vinegar, and mustard in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add toasted bread cubes, steak, arugula, and onion; toss to coat. Divide salad among 4 plates. Top evenly with avocado and blue cheese.

BLACK AND BLUE SALAD
Steps:
- Mix all seasoning ingredients together. Store in an airtight container. It will be good for 6 months.
- Bring the steak to room temperature and preheat the grill. Meats should sit outside of the fridge for at least 20 minutes before cooking.
- Pat the steak dry, season with blackened seasoning on each side, and then place the steaks on the hot part of the grill. Let the steaks sear until they release without sticking. When the steak lifts easily from the grill, flip the steaks. Cook for a couple of minutes.
- Insert the thermometer lengthwise for the best reading. A temperature of 130 to 145°F is the range between medium-rare and medium. For a well-done steak, move it to the cooler part of the grill and let it cook longer. Remember, the steak will continue to cook after you remove it from the grill.
- Let the steaks rest for 5 to 10 minutes so the juices can settle then slice.
- Place lettuce in bowl(s). Top with slices of steak, cheese, and dressing. Serve.

BLACK AND BLEU SALAD
This is a favorite at a local restaurant I used to work at named Elijah's here in Wilmington. All of the topping measurements are approximate, put as many or as few as you want! The spicyness of the blackening spice and the potent cheese are wonderous with the sweet balsamic dressing. The original salad at the restaurant also includes cherry tomatoes, but since neither I or my boyfriend care for raw tomatoes we left them off!

Steps:
- Heat your grill pan or grill to medium-high heat.
- Equally distribute the lettuce between 3 or 4 bowls (or 2 if you're feeding big appetites) and top with the chopped veggies and croutons if desired.
- Sprinkle the steak liberally with the blackening seasoning and place in hot grill pan. Cook 3 minutes per side for medium rare. (The steak I used was about 3/4 inch thick.).
- Once cooked to desired doneness, let the meat rest a few minutes before slicing into strips. (You may cut it into more bite size pieces but it will not be as pretty.).
- Place the steak slices on top of each salad. Top the warm meat with the bleu cheese and serve with the balsamic on the side.
- ENJOY!

Steps:
- Before you begin constructing your salad, you will want to throw a couple of boneless, skinless chicken breast on the grill sprinkled with the blackening seasoning of your choice. When done, slice thinly. Construct your salad by mixing all the vegetables together and tossing. Before serving, add blackened chicken and sprinkle with croutons and crumbled bleu cheese. Serve with grilled texas toast with butter and garlic and the dressing of your choice. Enjoy!
Tips:
- For an authentic Black and Bleu salad, use high-quality ingredients. Look for a well-marbled steak, fresh blue cheese, and crisp greens.
- When cooking the steak, be sure to sear it quickly over high heat to create a nice crust. Then, reduce the heat and cook the steak to your desired doneness.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- When assembling the salad, be sure to dress it lightly. You don't want to overwhelm the other flavors in the salad.
- Serve the salad immediately, while the steak is still warm.
Conclusion:
Black and Bleu salad is a flavorful and satisfying dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. With its combination of tender steak, tangy blue cheese, and crisp greens, this salad is sure to please everyone at the table.
