Ingredients

  • Ingredients:
  • 3-4 oz. baby arugula (several large handfuls)
  • 1 cup diced hearts of palm
  • 10-12 Kalamata olives
  • fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • Dressing Ingredients:
  • 1 T crumbled Gorgonzola Cheese
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 T good quality Balsamic vinegar

Directions

  1. Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and Gorgonzola cheese. Dice hearts of palm, place in small bowl and mix in a little less than half of the dressing mixture. Toss dressing with hearts of palm and let them marinate while you prep the other salad ingredients.

  2. Cut Kalamata olive in half lengthwise. Wash arugula and spin or blot dry. (I used a salad spinner and still dried it a little with a paper towel.) Put arugula into mixing bowl and toss with remaining dressing.

  3. Arrange arugula on plate, spoon over hearts of palm and put olives on top. Grind pepper over and serve immediately.
