My husband and I went to Longhorn Steak House on Sunday. We shared a 10 oz. New York Strip Steak. It comes with two sides so he got broccoli and I got jasmine rice. The we added their strawberry, pecan and feta salad. It was absolutely amazing. Actually, everything what quite delicious.
I knew I would be making Calamari Stew for dinner on Monday night, but I was thinking about what to make with it. All of a sudden the strawberry, pecan, feta salad popped into my mind. I had all of the ingredients … well except Longhorn’s version had red grapes, which I didn’t have … but was sure it would be just as good without them.
