Grilled Steak Salad

1 (8-ounce) boneless lean sirloin steak, trimmed of all fat
1/8 cup (2 tablespoons) Hellmann's or Best Foods Real Mayonnaise
1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1 tablespoon Cascadian Farm Sweet Pickle Relish
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon champagne or white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon mustard powder
1 tablespoon low-salt ketchup
1 large green onion, bulb and green part, finely sliced
4 cups lettuce or salad greens mix, torn into bite-sized pieces
2 large eggs, hard-boiled
2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
Freshly ground black pepper
1 ounce bleu cheese, crumbled

1. In a nonstick grill pan or on an indoor or outdoor grill, cook steak until medium.
2. While the steak cooks, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, relish, lemon juice, vinegar, sugar, mustard, ketchup, and onion.
3. Thinly slice steak against the grain, then cut slices into bite-sized pieces. Add to the mayonnaise mixture and stir to combine.
4. Divide the lettuce between 4 serving plates. Arrange slices from half a boiled egg and half a tomato on each plate. Evenly divide the mayonnaise-steak dressing mixture among the plates, spooning it atop the lettuce. Top each salad with bleu cheese and freshly ground black pepper.

Flavor Swaps
The ketchup in the mayonnaise dressing for Grilled Steak Salad gives it a Russian dressing-type taste. If you prefer the flavor of Thousand Island dressing, chop the hard-boiled egg and add it to the dressing instead of serving it alongside the salad. For a saltier-tasting dressing, substitute a lower sodium dill relish like that from Cascadian Farm for the sweet relish.
