APPLE AND GORGONZOLA SALAD

SPINACH SALAD WITH GORGONZOLA CHEESE
This is just a wonderful salad with a great combination of flavors with the sweetness of the fruit and the tartness of the dressing and cheese. It is a spin-off of LonghornMama's Fruit 'n' Veggie Salad which is also a great salad. I made this again for my Easter weekend meal and added about 1/2 cup of dried bananas to it and would highly recommend doing that in the original recipe. :)

Steps:
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil over a high heat and cook the green beans for 2 mins until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold running water to halt the cooking process and retain the vibrant colour. Pat dry with kitchen paper and set aside.
- Halve the passion fruits, scoop the pulp into a small pan and bring to a simmer over a low heat. Cook for 5 mins until the pulp has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and press the pulp through a sieve into a small bowl, discarding the seeds.
- Whisk 1 tbsp honey into the passion fruit purée, followed by the oil, ginger, chilli and lime juice. Season and taste - you might need to add a little more honey or lime juice. Aim for a balance of sweet, tart and acidic.
- Slice down through the mangoes along both sides of the stone so you end up with two 'cheeks'. Using a tablespoon, scoop the flesh from the skin and cut into 3cm chunks. Scrape and roughly chop any fleshy bits from the stones.
- Transfer the mango flesh to a shallow serving dish, drizzle with 3 tbsp of the dressing, then gently spoon over the green beans. Stir the coriander into the remaining dressing and pour it over the beans, then scatter with mint and serve.
