Viewed: 38 - Published at: 2 years agoIngredients
- Chive dressing
- 1 small clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar
- 1 teaspoon creme fraiche
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pinch sea salt and black pepper, plus more to taste
- Salad
- 1 Granny Smith apple, chopped
- 1 Hass avocado, chopped
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 English cucumber, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- 1/3 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese, room temperature
- 1 pinch salt and black pepper, plus more to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives, for garnish (optional)
Method
- In a blender, add in the garlic, Champagne vinegar, creme fraiche, honey, chives, salt, and pepper. Blend until combined.
- With the blender still on, through the top, stream in the olive oil. Blend until combined. Taste for salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Toss the apple and avocado in the lemon juice so they don't oxidize. Then, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and toss with the chive dressing. You may not have to use all of the dressing-I don't like mine too wet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with some chopped chives. This salad can be made up to 3 to 4 hours in advance. If you are making the salad in advance add in the room temperature gorgonzola when you serve the salad.
