APPLE GORGONZOLA SALAD WITH BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
My take on the apple gorgonzola salad at Buca di Beppo. I have also made the dressing using Apple Cider Vinegar in place of the Balsamic with excellent results. It is a family and friend favorite!

Steps:
- If using proscuitto, lay very thin slices on baking sheet in a single layer and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, watching so it doesn't burn.
- To toast walnuts, place on baking sheet in a single layer and bake at 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes, watching so they don't burn.
- Toss lettuces, apples, walnuts, cranberries, gorgonzola cheese and proscuitto.
- To prepare dressing, combine anchovy paste, vinegar, water, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic, sugar, cornstarch, and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese into blender (or use an emulsion blender). Mix in blender; slowly adding 1 cup oil. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Combine salad and dressing, serve.
APPLE BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
I love a balsamic vinaigrette and haven't found a bottled one I like.I decided to make my own. Here is one attempt that I really enjoyed. If you like a bite to your dressing, use the jalapeno pepper. I enjoyed it in there, but it was really spicy. This dressing was lovely and gave a similar flavor to my salad as Panera Bread's White Balsamic Apple Vinaigrette. I really enjoyed it. If I come across a better one, I'll edit and let you know!
