Ingredients

  • SALAD:
  • 5 ounces Baby Red Butter Lettuce
  • 1 Pear
  • 0.5 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
  • 0.5 cup Toasted, chopped walnuts
  • BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE:
  • 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 0.5 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 0.5 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 6 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Sweet fruit, creamy cheese and crunchy nuts create a delightful contrast with tender red butter lettuce leaves in this delicious salad.

In a large salad bowl, whisk together the vinegar, garlic and mustard. Slowly add the oil in a thin stream, whisking steadily. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Add the lettuce, pears, Gorgonzola and walnuts, and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.
