Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 head butter lettuce (cleaned and dried (see Notes))
  • ½ cup walnut halves (roughly chopped )
  • 1 cup halved red seedless grapes
  • 4 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon sugar (as needed)
  • freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the walnuts on a baking sheet or small oven-proof dish and bake for 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Remove from the oven and allow to cool while assembling salad.
  • Tear the butter lettuce leaves into smaller pieces and layer it with the grapes and gorgonzola in a large, shallow bowl or platter. Place some larger leaves of butter lettuce around the edges for a nice presentation, if desired. Sprinkle the toasted walnuts over the top and drizzle with as much of the vinaigrette as desired.
