SIMPLE GREENS AND FRUIT SALAD WITH GORGONZOLA CHEESE



Simple Greens and Fruit Salad With Gorgonzola Cheese image

This is a favorite salad in our house. I change it around to match the fruits of the season. Some of our favorites are: canned mandarin oranges, diced apples, diced pears, fresh berries, or even Craisins. I love the fact I always have something in the fridge to top the salad. My husband doesn't like blue cheese, but the Gorgonzola isn't as strong to him. I use Paul Newman's light dressing, but use one you like!

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.

Provided by Craig Claiborne

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 squares

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound Gorgonzola cheese
4 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup milk
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 cups macadamia nuts
2/3 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup clarified butter, preferably, or corn, peanut or vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Trim off rim of cheese if it has one. Cut cheese into small cubes.
  • Melt the 4 tablespoons butter in a skillet and add 3/4 cup flour, stirring with wire whisk. Add milk, stirring rapidly with whisk. The mixture will be quite thick.
  • Add cheese and stir and mash to blend well. Remove from heat. Add egg yolk, mustard and pepper, and stir to blend.
  • Line a rimmed baking dish measuring about 7 1/2 by 7 1/2 inches with parchment paper or foil. Pour in batter and smooth over. Let cool and refrigerate an hour or longer, until solidified.
  • Put macadamia nuts and bread crumbs into container of a food processor or electric blender. Do not process constantly, but pulse on and off until nuts are coarse-fine and blended with crumbs.
  • Unmold Gorgonzola mixture and cut into 12 equal squares.
  • Dip each square into remaining flour to coat all over. Dip squares in the eggs to coat and then in the crumb mixture. Continue until all pieces are well coated.
  • Heat clarified butter or oil in a skillet and add about half the squares. Cook about a minute and turn squares; cook on second side about 45 seconds. Cook squares on edges as well as top and bottom; the total cooking time is about 2 1/2 minutes. Add squares to skillet until all have been cooked. As squares are cooked, drain on absorbent paper towels.
