Submitted by Kyle Newton

"Billy says it's the best salad he's ever eaten so I'm posting it here to remember what I did. It makes a good main course salad and happens to be vegetarian."

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 12 cups red leaf lettuce, washed and chopped into bite size pieces
• 2 plum tomatoes, sliced
• 1 cucumber, peeled and sliced
• 2 stalks celery, washed and cut into 1/2 inch peices
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup alfalfa sprout
• 4 ounces walnuts, toasted
• 4 ounces gorgonzola, crumbled
• 4 ounces dried cherries

directions

1. Assemble individual plates in the order ingredients are listed.
2. Be sure to toast the walnuts. I put mine in the toaster oven for about 5 minutes at 350 degrees. When you can smell them, they are done but keep an eye on them as they can burn easily.
3. Use your favorite vinaigrette. We prefer good seasons prepared the "reduced oil" method. Directions are on the packet to reduce the oil.
