Strawberry Steak Salad

One of my favorite flavor combinations is sweet with savory. This recipe has that flavor combination. The savory of the blue cheese with the strawberries... so good.

If you what a fresh, easy to make salad, look no further.

I didn't have pistacios, but had a bag of glazed walnuts...nice swap there. Added the crunch and a tad of sweet.
