Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Blanch the broccoli rabe in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and chop into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine the broccoli rabe, shaved Brussels sprouts, and red watercress.

  2. 2

    Add Fruits and Nuts

    Chop the dried apricots into small pieces and add them to the bowl along with the candied walnuts. Toss everything gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the gorgonzola cheese, buttermilk, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.
