Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and dry the butter lettuce leaves and set aside. Slice the zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell pepper into thin strips. Trim the asparagus ends and cut them into 2-inch pieces.

  2. 2

    Blanch the Asparagus

    Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the asparagus pieces and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking.

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Crumble in the Gorgonzola cheese and mix gently.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    On a large platter or individual plates, arrange the butter lettuce leaves as a base. Top with the sliced zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, and blanched asparagus. Drizzle with the Gorgonzola dressing.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately as a refreshing salad.
