Perfect for special occasions, but simple enough to make every night. Has a lovely citrus basil vinaigrette that goes well with this salad as well as others. Taste's just like the salad they serve at Dewey's Pizza in Cincinnati, Ohio. Ingredients:
5 cups baby romaine leaves or 5 cups mesclun |
1/2 cup red seedless grapes, halved |
3 1/2 ounces quality gorgonzola, crumbled |
1/2 cup candied walnuts or 1/2 cup candied pecans, halves (may purchase or make candied walnuts) |
1/3 cup fresh orange juice |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar |
1 tablespoon fresh basil, minced |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1 clove garlic, minced |
1 teaspoon dijon mustard |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Place baby romaine leaves in a salad bowl and top with sliced grapes, candied nuts and crumbled gorgonzola (if making your own candied nuts do this step first so they have a moment to cool).
2. Whisk together orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, basil, dijon mustard, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
3. Serve dressing with salad.
