Ingredients

4 servings
  • 5 ounces salad greens, chopped (I used half baby arugula, half little gem lettuce)
  • 2 large ripe pears, diced
  • 1 large avocado, peeled, pitted and diced
  • 1 small red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 6 ounces candied walnuts* (I made a half batch of this recipe)
  • 4 ounces crumbled gorgonzola cheese
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or balsamic vinegar)
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper

Steps

  1. Add the vinaigrette ingredients to a mason jar, cover, and shake vigorously for 10 seconds until combined.  (Alternately, you can whisk the ingredients together in a bowl until combined.)

  2. Add salad greens, pears, avocado, red onion, candied walnuts and gorgonzola cheese to a large salad bowl.  Drizzle evenly with the vinaigrette, then toss until combined.  Taste and season with extra salt and pepper, if needed.

  3. Serve immediately and enjoy!
