GORGONZOLA AND GRAPE SALAD



Gorgonzola and Grape Salad image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time P1DT10m

Yield 6 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup aged red wine vinegar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
5 cloves garlic
1 1/2 small shallots, minced
2 1/2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
20 cloves garlic
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups seedless green and red grapes, halved
1 cup Gorgonzola, crumbled
3 heads frissee lettuce, or other hearty green

Steps:

  • Dressing: Place red wine vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and garlic cloves in a blender and pulse on high speed. Add the shallots and slowly incorporate the extra-virgin olive oil while blender is on high speed. Finish seasoning with black pepper and allow the dressing to sit for 24 hours, refrigerated, before using.
  • For the candied garlic: Coat a sheet pan with oil for the finished garlic. Place the garlic and water in a large saute pan over medium to high heat. Boil the cloves until they are cooked through but still firm to the touch and still maintain their shape. This takes about 8 minutes. By this time the water should be all the way or close to being evaporated. At this point, add the sugar in with the garlic cloves and continue to cook over medium heat while stirring occasionally. After a couple of minutes the sugar will begin to caramelize. At this point it is important that the garlic be stirred constantly so they become evenly coated with the caramelized sugar. Continue to caramelize the garlic until golden to dark golden brown. This process happens very quickly so stay alert. Turn the garlic out onto the greased sheet pan and cool.
  • For the salad: Place the grapes, Gorgonzola and candied garlic in a large mixing bowl. Add 3/4 cup of dressing. You want enough dressing in the bowl to fully saturate the cheese and grape mixture. Add the lettuce and toss your salad. Taste for seasoning.

This was the result of an attempt to imitate a salad dressing at a restaurant. I did modify it to include bacon and I serve it warm. The dressing is also fantastic over gnocchi or tortellini.

SIMPLE GREENS AND FRUIT SALAD WITH GORGONZOLA CHEESE



Simple Greens and Fruit Salad With Gorgonzola Cheese image

This is a favorite salad in our house. I change it around to match the fruits of the season. Some of our favorites are: canned mandarin oranges, diced apples, diced pears, fresh berries, or even Craisins. I love the fact I always have something in the fridge to top the salad. My husband doesn't like blue cheese, but the Gorgonzola isn't as strong to him. I use Paul Newman's light dressing, but use one you like!

1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons sour cream

Tips:

- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. - Don't overmix the batter for the fritters, or they will be tough. - Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the fritters, or they will not cook evenly. - Serve the salad immediately after assembling, while the fritters are still warm and crispy. - For a more flavorful salad, use a variety of greens, such as arugula, spinach, and romaine lettuce. - To add a bit of sweetness to the salad, try adding some sliced pears or apples. - For a more nutty flavor, add some toasted walnuts or pecans to the salad. - If you don't have any gorgonzola cheese on hand, you can substitute another type of blue cheese, such as Roquefort or Stilton.
