I absolutely love the "Newk's Favorite" salad at Newk's Cafe! So much so, that I tend to order this same salad every time I go, and was determined to make a close home version of it, so that I could have it whenever I like. Here is my version.
Category: Salad
Cuisine: American
2 heads Romaine lettuce chopped
4 ounce Gorgonzola cheese crumbled
0.75 cup Dried cranberries
1.5 cup Red grapes halved
0.75 cup Artichoke hearts chopped
0.75 cup Pecans toasted
1 cup Croutons
1
1/3 cup Sherry vinegar
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Dried basil
1 teaspoon Dried oregano
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Freshly ground pepper
0.5 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
I made this without artichokes (honestly couldn't get the jar open), but I'm not sure I would have like the chokes in the recipe. The grapes are $4/pound around here so I substituted a granny smith...will try again with grapes. The dressing is very good (added extra vinegar). Great salad really.
