1 1/2 cups blueberries, divided

1/2 cup Lawry’s Balsamic Herb Marinade, divided

2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar

2 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 pound skirt steak

1 package (5 ounces) mixed salad greens

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

Place 3/4 cup of blueberries, 2 tablespoons marinade, sugar, water and lemon juice in food processor. Cover. Process until smooth. Refrigerate dressing until ready to serve.

Place steak in large re-sealable plastic bag or glass dish. Add 1/4 cup of remaining marinade; turn to coat well. Refrigerate 30 minutes or longer for extra flavor. Remove steak from marinade. Discard any remaining marinade.
