Categories Sauce Fruit

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

Balsamic Vinaigrette:
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 garlic clove cut in half
Salad:
2 eating apples (fuji, elstar, cortland, criterion) unpeeled, cored and thinly sliced
1 cup diced fennel bulb
3 cups romaine, torn into bite size pieces
2 cups curly endive, torn into bite size pieces
2 cups butter lettuce, torn into bite size pieces
1/4 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese

Steps:

To prepare balsamic vinaigrette, combine oil, vinegar, salt pepper and garlic in small jar with tight fitting lid. Shake and let stand 20 minutes or refrigerate up to 2 days. Discard garlic. To prepare salad place apples and fennel in bottom of large salad bowl. Toss with vinaigrette. Layer romaine, endive, and butter lettuce on top. Cover with damp paper towels and refrigerate up to 4 hours. When ready to serve sprinkle cheese on top and toss well.

Tips:

Choose ripe, firm apples. This will ensure that they hold their shape and don't turn to mush when you dress them.
Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the apples. This will help them absorb the flavors of the dressing.
Don't overcrowd the salad. If you're making a large salad, use a large bowl or platter so that the ingredients can spread out evenly.
Dress the salad just before serving. This will prevent the greens from wilting.
Serve the salad immediately. This is when the flavors are at their best.
