Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap garlic cloves in aluminum foil and roast for about 20-25 minutes until soft. Once roasted, squeeze the garlic into a bowl and mash it with a fork.

  2. 2

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed roasted garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  3. 3

    Set the vinaigrette aside to let the flavors meld while you prepare the salad.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, dried cranberries, toasted walnuts, and gorgonzola cheese.

  5. 5

    Drizzle the roasted garlic vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately, garnished with additional walnuts and gorgonzola if desired.
