Grilled Vegetable and Flank Steak Salad with Blue Cheese Vinaigrette

This was a tasty dinner. I threw in some sauted mushrooms to round out some veggies. I really liked the blue cheese vinaigrette that topped the entire meal. I think a bed of lettuce with this would have been perfect. I'll make this again. Well, I'll make the vinaigrette again for sure. I think it would be exceptional with chicken.
