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!

APPLE GORGONZOLA SALAD
I recreated this at home after having a very similar salad at Buca di Beppo (an Italian family style restaurant). Ingredient amounts are approximate, because I simply toss in the amount that "looks" right. But, the combination of ingredients are soooo good. I think even the most inexperienced can throw this together without explicit instructions... :) Oh, for the Spiced Walnuts, try something similar to Chef #159145' Recipe #139127.
