This salad is as pretty and pink as it is delicious! The star is the creamy dressing - with a little sweet from fresh strawberries, and some bright tang from Dijon and white balsamic (white wine vinegar works as well) it ties the salad together beautifully. 

My tip for getting those beautifully shards of shaved gorgonzola is to put the cheese in the freezer about 15-20 minutes before shaving. Crumbles work as well, but I love the texture and look of the thinly shaved slices.

    This salad is delicious. We were surprised how well the blue cheese paired with the strawberries. I made the salad first with arugula, as instructed, and then with baby spinach. We had a slight preference for the latter, but both a company-worthy.
