Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Blister the Grapes and Tomatoes

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the halved grapes and cherry tomatoes. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are blistered and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2

    Pickle the Red Onion

    In a small bowl, combine the thinly sliced red onion with a mixture of 1/2 cup of vinegar (white or apple cider) and 1/2 cup of water. Let sit for at least 10 minutes to pickle.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Cider Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed lettuces, blistered grapes and tomatoes, crumbled blue cheese, chopped pistachios, and pickled red onions. Drizzle with cider vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.
