Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Romaine lettuce
- 2 cups Radicchio
- 0.5 cup Red onions
- 0.5 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 4 slices Crispy prosciutto (optional)
- 0.5 cup Candied walnuts
- 1 cup Grape tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup Balsamic vinaigrette dressing
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the romaine lettuce and radicchio under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture.
Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and tear the radicchio leaves into smaller chunks. Combine both in a large salad bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion into half-moons and add it to the bowl.
Sprinkle the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, grape tomatoes, and candied walnuts evenly over the greens.
If using crispy prosciutto, break it into small pieces and scatter it across the salad.
In a small bowl or shaker, whisk or shake the balsamic vinaigrette with the salt and black pepper to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad mixture just before serving. Toss gently to coat the ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
