Ingredients

  • Salad:
  • 2 cups thinly sliced romaine lettuce
  • 2 cups julienned savoy cabbage
  • 1 cup julienned celery (1 inch long)
  • 1 cup peeled, julienned jicama (1 inch long)
  • 1 cup julienned radishes (about 1 small bag or 10 radishes)
  • 1 cup julienned apple (about 2 apples, red and green)
  • 1/2 cup peeled, julienned broccoli stems (1 inch long)
  • Dressing:
  • 1 cup sour cream, low-fat or non-fat
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup, grade B preferred
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
  • 8 ounces gorgonzola cheese, crumbled and partially chunky
  • 1 cup toasted chopped walnuts, optional

Method

  • In a large bowl, toss the salad ingredients.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the sour cream, oil, vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add the cheese and mix with a fork to combine without mashing the cheese. There should be visible chunks in the dressing.
