For some reason, I hate it when I go to a restaurant and the item reads like a purposely long list of what's in it. Caesar salad is Caesar salad, not salad with anchovies, mayonaise and lime. Maybe I should make up a name for this salad so it annoys me less during this post. Let's just call it triple salad, ok?
So this triple salad (I don't really like this name either, but we're stuck with it now) had gorgonzola crumbles, apples cut into wedges and chopped walnuts. Gorgonzola, fruit and nuts usually make a good combination. One of my favorite steaks I've ever had was served with gorgonzola, grapes and walnuts on top. I thought I'd hate it, but I loved it and I've tried to find some good combos with it since then.
You really have to like gorgonzola to like this salad. It is by far the strongest taste. Maybe if I had used a tarter apple it would've stuck out a bit more. I should've also considered julienne-ing the apple instead of wedges. Interestingly enough, the salad was better the second day. If the lettuce didn't start to wilt, I would consider serving it like this.
Modifications: Can try with other cheese/fruit/nut combos. Maybe some better gorgonzola cheese?
Make again?: It's possible but I think there might be some better options out there.
