This is a great base recipe that can easily be adapted to your tastes. After reading the reviews, I decided to make the vinaigrette as specified (even the 2 tsp salt, which I was thinking would be too much. After tasting it, I decided to add a spoonful of Dijon mustard and a couple of minced garlic, and I was very happy with the result. I don't see a need to reduce the amount of oil or salt. This will be my house dressing from now on, so I am happy it made more than I needed for one meal. As for the salad, today I used packaged mixed greens, red onion, tomato, cucumber, avocado, feta, and grilled tenderloin (which I had seasoned with Montreal Steak Spice. Wonderful.

Great recipe, easy to make and very tasty! For all of you who cut down on the dressing: my advice is make the whole amount and keep the leftover for other salads. It is very good on my spinach/mandarin orange/candied almond salad. Anyway, this is a great recipe, even my kids like it!

I wouldn't change a thing! It's a perfect recipe! The dressing is so light and fresh. Some reviews suggested less oil but I disagree (it's too sour with less oil. I tried it. I also made the mistake of having my butcher slice the steak in strips and then I sautéed them. Although still good, I should have grilled and then sliced. I will do that next time for sure! Giada knows best!

LOVE this recipe. I've been making it 3-4 times a month since I found it and no one's grown tired of it. I did make a pretty substantial modification to the dressing though. As others have noted, in the quantity indicated here it would drown the salad (though even before I modified the recipe I served the dressing on the side because everyone in my house has a different amount of dressing that they like on a salad.

I changed the dressing to 1/4 C olive oil, 1/4 C Red Wine Vinegar and 3 Tbl. freshly squeezed lemon juice. I left the quantities of salt, pepper and honey as-is.

Great flavor! The acidity of vinegar and lemon juice cut any meat fatiness. Easy digestion. I used "John Soules Foods" fully-cooked and seasoned steak strips (found at Sam's Club. Kudos on flavor and texture herb salad (pre-packaged, tomato, cucumber, Kalamata olives; and Feta cheese. Surprisingly light and filling. Delicious!

Fantastic! I did reduce the olive oil to 1/2 cup and the vinegar to about 1/3 cup...the full amount would have drowned thie salad. This is a really satisfying, hearty entree salad for dinner with the addition of avocado, red bell pepper, and cucumber. Yummy.

Excellent. We have made this several times with summer using leftover steak and were very pleased. Followed the recipe exactly and would not change a thing. Yummy!

This was wonderfully easy and yummy. I had some leftover steak from the previous night's dinner and this was the perfect way to use it. I did follow some reviewers' suggestions: added hard boiled eggs (2, used feta because that was what I could find, and slowly added olive oil to dressing until I didn't obviously taste the vinegar but not too oily either. Also, I did heat the dressing over super low heat to really get the honey melted and mixed in well. I only did this for about a minute and it worked beautifully. Also, I used romaine and two different lettuces from the farmer's market: one red and one butter. Can't wait to have this again.
