Tossed Green Salad with Gorgonzola and Cranberries

December 12, 2019 By Pat Nyswonger Leave a Comment

What is not to love about this Tossed Green Salad with Gorgonzola and Cranberries?  The greens are crisp, the Gorgonzola is creamy and the dried cranberries bring a bright, happy color to the party. There is a crunch from toasted walnuts and the zesty onions.  And topping it off is a tangy-sweet vinaigrette made with champagne vinegar and walnut oil.
