A few weeks ago, I had a lovely lunch with the even lovelier book club ladies, at the Iron Monkey, a cool bar/restaurant in Jersey City. Since I wanted to keep the meal nice and light, I ordered the Fuji Apple and Endive Salad. This salad is so simple, yet oh so tasty – the crisp sweetness of the apple was complemented nicely by the sweet and salty candied pecans and the creamy tang of the gorgonzola. I enjoyed this salad so much I knew I had to try to recreate at home. I made a few variations with what I had on hand at home – I may be biased, I actually think my version is better.
Fuji Apple and Gorgonzola Salad
Ingredients:
For the salad:
- 2-3 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 Fuji apple, sliced
- 1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
- 1/4 mixed nuts chopped
For for the apple cider vinaigrette:
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/8 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp honey
- pinch of salt and pepper
Layer salad ingredients into a bowl. In a separate bowl whisk together dressing ingredients. Drizzle dressing lightly over salad. Serves 2.
