Toy Box Tomato & Arugula Salad with Sliced Filet Mingon & Blue Cheese
Description:

This is one of my favorite salads - simple yet sophisticated. Peppery arugula and juicy cherry tomatoes pair perfectly with slices of filet mingon and creamy blue cheese. Makes a great weekend lunch.

First, prepare the vinaigrette by combining the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, orange juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Next, cut the tomato into cubes about 1/2 inch thick. Pour the vinaigrette over the tomatoes and let sit for about 10 minutes.

Divide the arugula between two plates, and spoon the tomatoes & vinaigrette over the top. Place the sliced filet mignon on top and sprinkle with blue cheese. Serve immediately.
