This Crunchy Chopped Salad with Gorgonzola and Radishes is a summer favorite!
 |
(For Friday Flashbacks I feature favorite recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites, and this Crunchy Chopped Salad Recipe with Gorgonzola and Radishes is something I love to make in early summer when garden radishes start to show up. I just bought radishes last night at the farmers market, so I think this will be on the menu soon!)
When it's summer, something like this Crunchy Chopped Salad with Gorgonzola and Radishes is one of my favorite things to have for lunch. What makes chopped salad so appealing in my mind is the crunch factor, often achieved by using less lettuce and proportionally more other ingredients than most salads. This salad has romaine, arugula, radishes, celery, carrots, and sometimes cucumbers, but it's the savory combination of radishes, arugula, and Gorgonzola cheese that make it a wow for me. If you don't like all those flavors, use the ones you like and it will still be a nice crunchy salad.
