    Damn, this was good! Cucumbers, bacon, tomatoes, radishes, chives, chive flowers and lotza Gorgonzola!

    This crisp and refreshing steakhouse classic is delicious and so easy to assemble. It’s the perfect side to any grilled meat or as is on its own. Steak is obviously a perfect pairing but adding leftover grilled chicken and boiled eggs are also a great way to enjoy this salad.
