Celery and Radish Salad With Gorgonzola image

Use the delicate hearts, or inner stalks, of celery for this salad. Slice both the celery and radishes very thin; it goes faster than you'd think but you can use a food processor to speed up the process.

Fig, Prosciutto, Gorgonzola Salad image

From Cooking Light. This is so simple and quick to make. I tried grilling the figs (thanks to Rita for the idea from her recipe for grilled figs--Recipe#68915), before adding the remaining ingredients and I thought the salad was even better.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm figs. Look for figs that are slightly soft to the touch and have no bruises or blemishes.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the figs. This will help to prevent the figs from tearing.
  • If you don't have gorgonzola cheese, you can substitute another blue cheese, such as Roquefort or Stilton.
  • If you don't have walnuts, you can substitute another type of nut, such as pecans or almonds.
  • Serve the salad immediately after it is made. This will help to prevent the figs from becoming too soft.

Conclusion:

Celery, fig, and gorgonzola salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer meal. The sweetness of the figs, the saltiness of the gorgonzola cheese, and the crunch of the celery all come together to create a salad that is both flavorful and satisfying. This salad is also very easy to make, so it's a great option for a weeknight meal.
