Ingredients

Salad:

2 cups thinly sliced romaine lettuce

2 cups julienned savoy cabbage

1 cup julienned celery (1 inch long)

1 cup peeled, julienned jicama (1 inch long)

1 cup julienned radishes (about 1 small bag or 10 radishes)

1 cup julienned apple (about 2 apples, red and green)

½ cup peeled, julienned broccoli stems (1 inch long)

Dressing:

1 cup sour cream, low-fat or non-fat

½ cup olive oil

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons maple syrup, grade B preferred

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper

8 ounces gorgonzola cheese, crumbled and partially chunky

1 cup toasted chopped walnuts, optional

Preparation

In a large bowl, toss the salad ingredients.

In a medium bowl, whisk the sour cream, oil, vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add the cheese and mix with a fork to combine without mashing the cheese. There should be visible chunks in the dressing.

Add the walnuts to the salad, then add the dressing and toss to combine. Serve.
