Fall Salad

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

After all that chicken soup, I needed a little fresh greenery to cut the liquid swooshing around in my belly. Inspired by my mom’s dinner of Gorgonzola salad (from god’s gift to grocery stores- Stew Leonards- I’m looking at you NY and Western CT residents to fill our friends in on its glory) and roasted chicken, I decided to make a Gorgonzola salad with the contents of my refrigerator that despite my financial shortcomings, has far to much perishable food in it right now. Below is my creation:
