  • This is sure to become one of your Favorite Salads! It is a Sweet, Crunchy, and savory combination that will wake your taste buds up! The inspiration for this recipe comes from my Favorite Italian Restaurant in Napa Valley called Ristorante Allegria. They have authentic Italian dishes and I think I did a spot on job of recreating this amazing salad!
    Ingredients;
    2 lbs or about 1 medium head of Nappa Cabbage (You can use Savoy Cabbage as a sub)
    (equal to 8 cups)
    1/2 Pkg of bacon, diced
    1 C pecan halves
    2-3 T sugar
    4oz of crumbled gorgonzola cheese
    dressing:
    3 cloves finely minced garlic
    1 t dijon mustard
    3 T Balsamic Vinegar
    4 T olive oil
    2t honey
    1/4 t salt
    1/4 pepper

    I know you are absolutely going to LOVE this salad! Its even good cold the next day! Serve it as a main dish with a piece of grilled chicken on top or even shrimp. Or serve as a side salad with most anything! Thank you so much for watching.

      Wow this looks delicious. I think the addition of grilled flank steak would take it over the top!

    Hi, Karen!
    This salad looks amazing! I must have missed your tip about garlic in your other videos--but that's an awesome tip--I will definitely have to use it. Good to know that we can use savoy cabbage but not regular. I think the nuts would be a good addition because they would add some nice crunch to make the texture more interesting.
    You did a great job recreating this--thanks for sharing!

    • @IntheKitchenwithKaren
      @IntheKitchenwithKaren  3 місяці тому +1

      Thanks so much for watching Parnell! Oh that garlic hack works so well!! Yes the nuts with their sweetness, compliments the cheese and bacon perfectly!

    This salad sounds absolutely delectable. Can't wait to try it, and when I do, I will post my reaction. By the way, I meant to mention this before about another favorite restaurant that you featured when going out to lunch in another video, and that restaurant is called 7 Mares. This must be a chain restaurant because I have seen them around here in my SoCal locality as well but never paid much attention to them other than to notice the name. Although I don't usually frequent restaurants, I will make an exception this time since you recommended it. (I haven't even gone to Cracker Barrel yet, another place I keep hearing about.)

    Karen, have you ever tasted Redmond's smoked salt varieties by chance? 🎉

  • @sunset6010
    @sunset6010 3 місяці тому +2

    Do you use the other cabbage varieties because it wilts faster ? 🎉

      @IntheKitchenwithKaren  3 місяці тому +1

      Thanks for watching Sun Set!! Yes, and I also think they gave a bit milder taste 🥰
