Apple, banana, and Gorgonzola salad

 An apple, banana, and Gorgonzola salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that combines sweet and savory flavors with a creamy cheese dressing. Here's a basic recipe to get you started:

Ingredients:

For the Salad:

• 2 apples (crisp varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well), thinly sliced
• 2 ripe bananas, sliced
• 4 ounces (about 1/2 cup) Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for added crunch)
• Mixed greens or arugula (as the base)

For the Dressing:

• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

Prepare the dressing:

 In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the sweetness and seasoning according to your preference. Set aside.

Prepare the salad greens:

 Wash and dry the mixed greens or arugula, then arrange them on a serving platter or individual plates.

Slice the apples and bananas:

 Thinly slice the apples and bananas and place them on top of the bed of greens.

Add Gorgonzola cheese: 

Crumble the Gorgonzola cheese over the salad.

Optional nuts:

 If you like some crunch in your salad, sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans on top.

Drizzle the dressing:

 Just before serving, drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad. You can use as much or as little as you like.

Toss and serve: 

Gently toss the salad to coat the ingredients with the dressing. Be careful not to bruise the fruit. Serve immediately.

This salad is a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors, with the creaminess of the Gorgonzola cheese and the crunch of the nuts adding wonderful textures. Feel free to customize it by adding other ingredients like dried cranberries, sliced red onions, or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness. Enjoy!
