Apple Gorgonzola Salad with Blackberry Vinaigrette

This vibrant salad is full of contrasting elements that come together harmoniously. Crisp, sweet apple slices provide a refreshing crunch, walnuts bring in earthy and slightly bitter notes, while the creamy gorgonzola cheese adds a strong, bold flavor.

Apple Gorgonzola Salad with Blackberry Vinaigrette

Everything is topped with a slightly sweet and delicious blackberry vinaigrette. Delicious! Directions:

To prepare the dressing, start by blending the blackberries until smooth. Then, combine them with olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a bowl.

Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Arrange a generous handful of mixed lettuce on a plate, creating a bed for your salad.

Slice the apple into thin wedges and distribute them evenly over the lettuce. Cut the gorgonzola cheese into small dice and sprinkle them across the salad. Add the walnut kernels for a delightful crunch and rich flavor.

Finally, drizzle the vibrant blackberry dressing over the salad, ensuring each element is beautifully coated. Enjoy!

Instructions

  • For the blackberry vinaigrette: blend the blackberries and mix with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
