Steak Salad with Dijon Balsamic Dressing

I love making my own salad dressing not only because they are so easy to make but also taste better than most bottled dressings that you find in the grocery store. There are only a few key ingredients that go into most salad dressings and I am sure you have them in your pantry. You need olive oil, some type of vinegar and dijon mustard. If you also enjoy making your own homemade dressing, you will love this steak salad recipe! Here’s how to make it!
