Apple Bacon Gorgonzola Salad

Ingredients

  • 8oz  Kale, or Spring Mix Lettuce
  • 2 small  Apples, sliced (I prefer a sweet apple, fuji or gala)
  • 1/2 C  Pecans, halved
  • 1/2 C  Dried cranberries
  • 1/2 C  Gorgonzola cheese, crumbles
  • 8 slices  Bacon, cooked and diced

Dressing

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and toast pecans on a baking sheet for 5 minutes.  Combine all dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until blended well.  In a large serving bowl, mix lettuce, apples, pecans, cranberries, cheese, and bacon.  Pour dressing over salad and toss.  Serve immediately.

*If making ahead, add the apples and dressing just before serving.

Add chicken breast to this salad for a wonderful main dish!
