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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and tear the radicchio leaves into smaller chunks. Combine both in a large salad bowl.

Step 3

Thinly slice the red onion into half-moons and add it to the bowl.

Step 4

Sprinkle the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, grape tomatoes, and candied walnuts evenly over the greens.

Step 5

If using crispy prosciutto, break it into small pieces and scatter it across the salad.

Step 6

In a small bowl or shaker, whisk or shake the balsamic vinaigrette with the salt and black pepper to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 7

Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad mixture just before serving. Toss gently to coat the ingredients evenly.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy!
