J's mom makes this amazing salad based on a recipe from charleston's restaurant. the original version has a champagne dressing, hence the name. the other weekend i got the recipe from her, and now i'm sharing it with you, now that strawberries are in season. it's wonderful.
salad:
- bag of lettuce (i like the "butter blend," or romaine)
- 6 strawberries, rinsed and diced
- 4 dates, pitted and diced
- 10 cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup toasted pecans or walnuts
- gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- optional: 1/4 to 1/2 cup fresh chopped pineapple
dressing:
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp chicken bouillon granules (or 1 cube)
- cracked pepper
- dash olive oil
whisk dressing ingredients together until brown sugar is dissolved, then toss with lettuce. add remaining ingredients to top of lettuce and chill. serve.
