Flavorful Blue Cheese and Steak Salad on Flatbread at Ellis Diner in Salinas, California by Ruth Paget
I tried a new salad at Ellis Diner that is a protein and calcium powerhouse with added vitamins from its salad ingredients.
The Blue Cheese and Steak Salad on Flatbread hides a lot of protein, calcium, and iron that you need for thick hair, strong bones, and rosy cheeks. The online description of the steak says it is a short steak. But, the shape, flavor, and texture of the steak make me think it is a thin-cut New York Strip Steak.
The blue cheese as a dairy product has both calcium and calcium. The steak has protein and iron. The bacon in the salad used as a flavoring also has protein.
The hidden protein in the salad that makes it a protein and calcium powerhouse comes from the golden flatbread that everything sits on. This bread seems to be a calcium- and protein-rich yogurt flatbread. The interior of the bread is creamy white and tastes especially good with the sautéed onions, bacon, and creamy blue cheese in the salad.
The salad itself is a mixture of blue cheese crumbles, chopped iceberg lettuce, diced bacon, chopped spinach, sweet grilled onions, cherry tomatoes, and pungent onion-flavored chives.
The dressing comes from the blue cheese mixed with grilled onions. This makes the cheese warm and melting.
The blue cheese and onions are then mixed with the other salad ingredients to coat them as a dressing.
This highly seasoned salad with steak and blue cheese appears to be a modern Greek or Armenian diner dish (looks Middle Eastern, but breaks several religious dietary laws of Judaism and Islam).
I enjoyed the flavorful blue cheese and steak salad on flatbread at Ellis Diner in Salinas, California and think diners interested in maintaining or building muscle like athletes would enjoy this dish.
Note: This might be a good item for a 50-50 fundraiser, if the restaurant agrees.)
