APPLE GORGONZOLA SALAD WITH BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
My take on the apple gorgonzola salad at Buca di Beppo. I have also made the dressing using Apple Cider Vinegar in place of the Balsamic with excellent results. It is a family and friend favorite!

APPLE AND GORGONZOLA SALAD
This dressing is one my Grandmother used to make. I added the Gorgonzola. I mistakenly marinated the apples in the dressing for a few hours one day and it tasted so good, I do it every time now.

APPLE, ENDIVE & GORGONZOLA SALAD
This recipe from Gourmet Magazine (October 1998) makes a wonderfully simple and delicious winter salad. The dressing is fabulous and you may want to try it on other salads. (Also, this makes a lightly dressed salad, some may want to double the dressing. Cut the apple soon before serving so that it does not brown. You can also try this with raw (untoasted) or candied nuts. Enjoy!

APPLE GORGONZOLA SALAD
I recreated this at home after having a very similar salad at Buca di Beppo (an Italian family style restaurant). Ingredient amounts are approximate, because I simply toss in the amount that "looks" right. But, the combination of ingredients are soooo good. I think even the most inexperienced can throw this together without explicit instructions... :) Oh, for the Spiced Walnuts, try something similar to Chef #159145' Recipe #139127.

WINTER APPLE SALAD WITH FENNEL AND GORGONZOLA
Steps:
- To prepare balsamic vinaigrette, combine oil, vinegar, salt pepper and garlic in small jar with tight fitting lid. Shake and let stand 20 minutes or refrigerate up to 2 days. Discard garlic. To prepare salad place apples and fennel in bottom of large salad bowl. Toss with vinaigrette. Layer romaine, endive, and butter lettuce on top. Cover with damp paper towels and refrigerate up to 4 hours. When ready to serve sprinkle cheese on top and toss well.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe apples that are slightly tart, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- Use high-quality gorgonzola cheese for the best flavor. Look for a cheese that is creamy and has a strong, pungent smell.
- If you don't have walnuts, you can substitute another type of nut, such as pecans or almonds.
- To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the dressing and assemble the salad without the walnuts. Store the salad in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, add the walnuts.
- This salad is also delicious served warm. To warm the salad, place it in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
