Spinach raspberry salad with gorgonzola

En Español 

This recipe for spinach raspberry salad with gorgonzola and candied walnuts is one of those random recipes that came from something unwanted: junk mail. A couple of years ago along with most of the daily junk mail I pulled out of the mailbox, there was a coupon for $5 off from a local grocery store. On the back of the coupon was this recipe for a raspberry salad with blue cheese, which sounded quite interesting.

The next time I went grocery shopping– I found raspberry vinegar, yum!  I didn’t even know such a thing existed, it reminded of the recipe on the back of the coupon. I made the salad  with raspberries and blue cheese. I tried it with both  spinach and arugula, depending on which was available, but do prefer it with spinach.

Spinach raspberry salad with gorgonzola and honey roasted walnuts

The original recipe called for plain walnuts, but of course I changed that and replaced them with honey roasted walnuts. I love the contrast of the spicy onions, sweet raspberries, the crunchy sweetness of the walnuts, and the sharp flavor of blue cheese or gorgonzola. Nicolas loves the idea of adding raspberries to salads, so now whenever he’s in charge of making the salad and we have raspberries he automatically adds them. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but they definitely work in this salad. If you don’t like gorgonzola or any other type of blue cheese,this salad is also great with feta cheese.
