Hearty Holiday Collection: Holiday Fruit Salad with Gorgonzola

This playful and colorful fruit salad is chockfull of flavor. Fresh kiwi, honeydew, watermelon, raspberries, red grapes, green grapes, and star fruit are drizzled in a sweet and herbaceous vinaigrette. We made the vinaigrette using our Cranberry Pear Fruit Vinegar, Italian Fig Balsamic, and Rosemary Infused Olive Oil. These elements play well with the creamy and zesty Gorgonzola cheese as well. We love using holiday cookie cutters to give a festive feel, cutting the fruit into fun shapes. This salad is a great side or appetizer, pairing nicely with meaty holiday roasts.
