Delicious Summer Salad

When my eldest was born 13 years ago, my dear sister took care of me because it was a rough, rough delivery.  I'll spare you the details because you are here for a recipe, not a war story.  She brought down several wonderful meals and sent recipes with them.  This recipe was locked up with the last one.

By the way, this is THE best way to use up leftover steak, or even better, grill an extra steak and save one for this recipe for later!
