Gorgonzola and Walnut Salad

Homemakers Best Tested

Andrew Chase and Annabelle Waugh
Use a mix of radicchio, frisée, Boston or Bibb and romaine lettuces, as they stay crisper on a buffet than other leaf lettuces.

Ingredients

1 cup  (250 mL)  walnut halves
1/2 cup  (125 mL)  extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup  (60 mL)  minced red onion
3 tbsp  (45 mL)  red wine vinegar
3 tbsp  (45 mL)  balsamic vinegar
3 anchovy fillets, minced (or 1-½ tsp/7 mL anchovy paste)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  pepper
1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  salt
20 cups  (5 L)  mixed lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
8 oz  (250 g)  Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled into bite-size pieces

Preparation

In skillet, toast walnuts over medium heat until fragrant, about 4 minutes; set aside.

Whisk together oil, onion, wine and balsamic vinegars, anchovies, garlic, pepper and salt. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.) In large serving bowl, toss lettuce with dressing. Top with cheese and walnuts.
