Ingredients
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 2 medium ripe but firm pears
- 1 cup gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by toasting the walnuts. Place the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir occasionally and toast for about 3 to 5 minutes until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let them cool.
Step 2
While the walnuts are toasting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Step 3
Wash and dry the mixed salad greens and place them in a large salad bowl.
Step 4
Quarter the pears and remove the cores. Slice them thinly, and drizzle them with a little lemon juice to prevent browning.
Step 5
Add the sliced pears to the salad greens in the bowl.
Step 6
Sprinkle the crumbled gorgonzola cheese and toasted walnuts over the pears and mixed greens.
Step 7
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, making sure the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Keto Gorgonzola and Pear Salad.
