Ultimate Steakhouse Salad

Ultimate Steakhouse Salad

The Ultimate Steakhouse Salad with a Creole Blue Cheese Dressing

This post is sponsored by Tony Chachere’s, but all opinions are 100% my own.

A steakhouse salad is a classic salad that is a favorite for a reason. I combined my favorite steakhouse salad ingredients and turned them into a main dish salad by adding delicious grilled steak right into the mix. I partnered with my friends at Tony Chachere’s to marinate the steak perfectly with their Steakhouse Marinade that gives the steak so much flavor! This steak is easy enough for any weeknight dinner, but would be fabulous for entertaining all summer long. You are going to love making the ultimate steakhouse salad with a creole blue cheese dressing the next time you are craving your favorite steakhouse.
