Sweet and savory Green Salad with Grapes, Gorgonzola, and Pistachios feels like a gourmet dish, yet comes together in just minutes!

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 salads

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup shelled pistachios (see notes)
  • 2 packed cups of baby spinach
  • 2 packed cups of arugula
  • 1 cup green grapes, halved
  • ½ cup gorgonzola crumbles
  • 4 tablespoons Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. CHOP PISTACHIOS: Roughly chop the pistachios so that there are no large pieces.
  2. ASSEMBLE SALAD: Divide the baby spinach and arugula between two large salad plates. Add half of the grapes, half of the pistachios and half of the gorgonzola between each salad.
  3. SERVE: Just before serving, drizzle each salad with 2 tablespoons of Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette and some freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Notes

If shelling your own pistachios, measure them after they have been shelled. Also, be sure to remove the papery skins. To do this, place a tea towel on a cutting board, then add the pistachios to the middle and then top with another towel. Use your hands to rub the pistachios between the towels, periodically stopping to clear away the skins that have come off.
