Ingredients
Yield: 4 servings
- 5 ounces salad greens, chopped (I used half baby arugula, half little gem lettuce)
- 2 large ripe pears, diced
- 1 large avocado, peeled, pitted and diced
- 1 small red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
- 6 ounces candied walnuts* (I made a half batch of this recipe)
- 4 ounces crumbled gorgonzola cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or balsamic vinegar)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
Method
Make the vinaigrette: Add the vinaigrette ingredients to a mason jar, cover, and shake vigorously for 10 seconds until combined. (Alternately, you can whisk the ingredients together in a bowl until combined.)
Turn the salad: Add salad greens, pears, avocado, red onion, candied walnuts and gorgonzola cheese to a large salad bowl. Spoon evenly with the vinaigrette, then toss until combined. Taste and season with extra salt and pepper, if needed.
Plate serve while it is hot and enjoy!
