Mixed Greens with Grapes, Gorgonzola (or Roquefort) and Almonds
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Dressing: really similar to Everyday Salad Dressing #2
- 1 small shallot minced
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons raw honey
- 2 Tablespoons unpasteurized apple cider vinegar
- 6 Tablespoons unrefined cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil
- 8 ounces of mixed greens
- 1 cup red grapes halved
- ¼ cup or less crumbled gorgonzola or other blue cheese
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together shallot, salt, pepper to taste, honey and vinegar. Pour olive oil into the bowl in a steady stream, whisking until emulsified.
- Mound greens onto a serving platter. Lightly dress the greens with some of the vinaigrette.
- In a small bowl, lightly coat the grapes with some of the dressing and scatter on top of the greens (that way the grapes won't get buried.) Top the salad with the crumbled cheese and sliced almonds. Drizzle with any remaining dressing, if needed.
