Apple Gorgonzola Salad with Blackberry Vinaigrette
Report
This salad combines a fresh spring mix with crisp apple slices, pungent gorgonzola cheese, and crunchy walnuts, dressed by a bright blackberry vinaigrette. The vinaigrette layers fruity tartness with balsamic and olive oil, balancing the creamy and nutty flavors of the salad ingredients for a harmonious mix of textures and tastes.
Description
Apple Gorgonzola Salad with Blackberry Vinaigrette features tender baby greens topped with thin apple slices, crumbly blue cheese, and walnut kernels. The dressing is a puree of fresh blackberries blended with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, seasoned simply with salt and pepper. This combination lends a fresh and slightly sweet edge that complements the richness of the gorgonzola and the crunch of nuts and apples.
The salad is assembled by plating greens first, then layering the apple and cheese, followed by walnuts for texture. Drizzling the vinaigrette last allows the components to keep their distinct flavors until combined at serving.
