Manero's Gorgonzola Salad




Source of Recipe


Miami Herald: Cook's Corner


Recipe Introduction


This very popular recipe is from the defunct Manero's Steakhouse in Hallandale Beach. Manero's advises that you should freeze the cheese for 24 hours before grating & rub the salad bowl with garlic-flavored oil (prepare by processing 1/2 cup vegetable oil -Manero's specified Mazola- in a blender with 1 garlic clove).


List of Ingredients




1 head iceberg lettuce
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 ribs celery, diced
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 ripe tomatoes, chopped
salt & pepper
4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 cup vegetable oil

Recipe



Break lettuce into bite-sized peices. Toss in a prepared wooden salad bowl (see note above) along with the bell pepper, celery and onion. Add tomato. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Grate cheese over salad.

Mix vinegar and oil with a whisk or in a covered jar until combined; pour over salad. Toss and serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
