Ingredients:

salad:
1 caput romanesco, cutting into florets
1-pint solid set down cherries* (also known equally Cape gooseberries or golden berries), halved
1 oz sliced Prosciutto, torn into bite-sized pieces
1/2 crimson onion, cutting into sparse one-half moons
1 Castilian dark radish, cutting into matchsticks
1/4 loving cup crumbled gorgonzola

1 tablespoon Dijon

two tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

*I bought these at Wegmans for a surprisingly affordable $2.49/pint (3 oz). They were labeled equally "goldenberries" as well as were sold nether the Melissa's arrive at label. I've too seen them inward farmers markets equally "ground cherries", they await similar xanthous cherry tomatoes as well as are inward a husk similar tomatillos. To me, they sense of savor a chip similar kiwi.
My thoughts:

This dish takes its inspiration from the popular broccoli salad that is such a crowd pleaser at get-togethers. Since Thanksgiving is this week, I idea I'd fancy it upward a bit. I used broccoli cousin romanesco (in flavour now) instead of broccoli, solid set down cherries instead of dried cranberries--they receive got a similar sweet-tart flavor profile, bluish cheese because it had to stand upward up to the potent flavors as well as in-season Castilian dark radish (regular crimson radish would arrive at inward a pinch) for crunch, as well as Prosciutto instead of bacon. Romesco has a overnice crisp flavor as well as theatre texture as well as looks similar a punk stone cross betwixt broccoli as well as cauliflower. It holds upward actually good inward mutual depression temperature salads. This salad is a chip abrupt as well as pungent tasting but non bitter--one of my favorite attributes inward a salad. The perfect contrast to the buttery, creamy, cheesy dishes that grace the vacation table. Bonus: it tin survive dressed as well as railroad train to become hours earlier serving.
