BABY GREENS WITH A WARM GORGONZOLA DRESSING



Baby Greens with a Warm Gorgonzola Dressing image

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.

MIXED BABY GREENS AND AVOCADO W LEMON DIJON VINAIGRETTE DRESSING



Mixed Baby Greens and Avocado W Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette Dressing image

Bright flavors! This is a modification of a Barefoot Contessa recipe. Hers called for endive and more avocados, serving one avocado per person. Mine is more of a tossed and assembled salad using baby greens and fewer avocados. It is a highly requested favorite around our home!
