Katherine Wants: Carbone's Gorgonzola Salad

A cooking demonstration detailing the preparation of a homemade rendition of Carbone's Gorgonzola Salad. The recipe breakdown covers ingredients for both the salad and the accompanying vinaigrette, targeting a yield of two to four servings. Salad components include roasted cipolino onions, hazelnuts, radicchio (De Luisa and Treviso varieties), butter lettuce, dolce Gorgonzola cheese, and chive sticks. The Dijon-based vinaigrette incorporates balsamic vinegar, sherry vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil.
