Although I’ve been a subscriber for almost ten years, this is the first time I’ve written to request a recipe, writes Danette Laver of Ambler, Pennsylvania. The honey-garlic dressing on the salad I had at Fork in Philadelphia was so good that I used a chunk of bread to soak up every last drop.
Ingredients:
6 tablespoons olive oil
10 large garlic cloves, unpeeled
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons apple cider
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
8 cups bite-size pieces romaine lettuce (1 large head)
1 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
spiced pecans
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Toss oil with garlic in small baking dish. Cover dish tightly with foil. Bake until garlic is golden and tender, about 45 minutes. Cool. Squeeze garlic from skins. Reserve oil.
2. Transfer roasted garlic to processor. Add honey, vinegar, cider and mustard and blend well. With processor running, slowly add reserved garlic oil. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Toss lettuce with 1/2 cup Gorgonzola cheese and enough dressing to coat. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese and Spiced Pecans and serve.
