BUCA SALAD



Created this salad after eating Buca di Beppo's version. One of my very favorites!

spring green lettuce mix (or spinach mix)
dried cranberries
diced apple (Granny Smith, Fuji or Honeycrisp)
gorgonzola cheese, crumbled (feta or shredded parmesan work too)

Dressing:
1/2 C. grape seed oil (or canola)
2 T. red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 T. sugar
1 tsp. red onion, chopped fine
1/4 tsp. dry mustard

For salad:
Layer ingredients in large salad bowl. Candied nuts recipe is listed in misc. section.

For dressing:
Place items, except sugar, in blender and mix. Slowly add sugar until dressing is mixed. A hand (immersion) blender works great for this!

Rachel Stacy makes a very similar salad...the dressing recipe is from her (and is much better than my hodge-podge of non-measured ingredients.)
