Walnut, Pear, Gorgonzola Salad
Up until a few years ago, I did not like salads. Part of the problem was that I thought of salads as iceberg lettuce with croutons, which I didn't like, and tomatoes, which I couldn't stand. Oh, and I wanted to be extra healthy so I wouldn't use any dressing. Talk about unsatisfying!
But then I started experimenting with salads that sounded interesting at restaurants. I was surprised to find that not only did I like salads, I craved them sometimes, if they had the right ingredients. I was also surprised at how filling salads can be.
So over the years I have learned to create salad combinations that I find delicious and filling while still adding a nutritional punch to your diet. This is one of my go to favorites. It fills me up while leaving me feeling energized and fulfilled. If you've never been a fan of salads, I urge you to start branching out. You might be surprised at what you discover.
Ingredients:
2 Cups Romaine Lettuce
2 T. Chopped Walnuts
2 T. Gorgonzola Cheese
1/2 Cup Chopped Pear
2 T. Craisins
2 T. Ken's Steak House Balsamic Vinaigrette
