  4. Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes; cut each in half and pack in a container and chill. Wash and dry the salad greens. Pack in a plastic bag and chill.
  5. Make the dressing: Combine all dressing ingredients, starting with 2 tablespoons of the Dijon. Taste, adding more as needed. Pack in a container and chill.
  6. At the reunion site, arrange the greens in a large shallow serving bowl. Arrange the vegetables over the greens and top with steak slices. Scatter the tomatoes over the salad. Drizzle about 1/4 cup of the dressing over the top of the salad. Place the remaining dressing nearby for spoon over individual servings.
