Cranberry Gorgonzola Green Salad

November 16, 2010 Lana 2 Comments

This is one of my most fave salads ever.  I only make it at Christmas time for ladies’ brunches and dinners.
I change my recipe to fit my needs and grocery store.

Cranberry Gorgonzola Salad

Red leaf lettuce works instead of Bibb lettuce.  Any tart apple will do.  I also use minced refrigerated garlic that comes in a jar.  So, I guess…I totally veer from the original recipe, which I think came from an Old Southern Living magazine or maybe a index card, not really sure.  🙂

 

[recipe id=””]

Cranberry Gorgonzola Green Salad

  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil (I use Canola)
  • 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar (I’ve used apple cider vinegar)
  • 3/4 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed (I use the minced refrigerated jar garlic)
  • 1 small head Bibb lettuce, torn (Red leaf works great!)
  • 1 small head green leaf lettuce, torn
  • 1 Granny Smith apple diced (or any tart apple)
  • 1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

Combine first 4 ingredients;  stir with whisk until blended.  Set aside.
Just before serving, combine lettuce and remaining 5 ingredients in a large bowl.  Pour dressing over salad;  toss gently.

Yield:  8 servings

My kids do not appreciate the strong flavors.  (They will eventually.)  However, ladies always ask for more!

Blessings to you!!!  You are loved!!!

    YUM…I love gorgonzola and it pairs so well with fruit. For Christmas supper, I’m serving a salad with gorgonzola, pears and walnuts 🙂

    Merry CHRISTmas!
