Fresh and simple salads... just in time for Spring!
This is a salad that is so simple and so full of flavor. It goes with almost any dish.
Romaine Lettuce Salad with Gorgonzla Cheese and Walnuts
Use the tender crunchy leaves of a head of Romaine Lettuce. The dressing is made with Olive Oil, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Bits of the Gorgonzola are blended into the oil and vinegar.
The salad is then assembled by tossing in the dressing~ then topped with walnuts and more cheese.
Next time I make it I am also going to include some slices of pear.
Ciao y'all~

This would be great with pear. That being said, it looks wodnerful as it is. it is amazing how well gorgonzola goes with walnuts.

How good is your Italian, Sandi? Al contadino non far sapere quanto è buono il formaggio con le pere. It's a proverb from the semi-feudal days of sharecropping that lasted in Italy until the 1950's. Is there a Pomodoro among you who can translate?
