APPLE GORGONZOLA SALAD

I recreated this at home after having a very similar salad at Buca di Beppo (an Italian family style restaurant). Ingredient amounts are approximate, because I simply toss in the amount that "looks" right. But, the combination of ingredients are soooo good. I think even the most inexperienced can throw this together without explicit instructions... :) Oh, for the Spiced Walnuts, try something similar to Chef #159145' Recipe #139127.

Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves
1/3 cup white wine vinegar or fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

4 cups bite-size pieces radicchio, from 1 (10-ounce) head
1 carrot, peeled
1 hothouse cucumber, peeled

Steps:

  • Blend the basil, vinegar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper in a blender. With the machine running, gradually blend in the oil.
  • Place the arugula and radicchio in a wide shallow bowl. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the carrot over the salad. Shave the cucumber into a medium bowl. Pat the cucumber shavings with paper towels to absorb the excess moisture. Add the cucumbers to the salad.

My take on the apple gorgonzola salad at Buca di Beppo. I have also made the dressing using Apple Cider Vinegar in place of the Balsamic with excellent results. It is a family and friend favorite!
