A hearty and bright salad that was inspired by the gluten-free set in my life. After volunteering to make a picnic lunch for my friends while on a wine tour through Long Island, I realized my gluten-free recipe arsenal needed some work. This salad seemed like a great way to utilize the splendid grapefruit and to introduce some of the shy eaters in crew to swiss chard. <br />This salad hits every note: the texture of swiss chard, the bitter sweetness of grapefruit, the funky tang of the gorgonzola and the addicting citrus-infused candied walnuts. <br />I enjoy serving this over a lightly-seasoned bed of quinoa for that extra protein punch. <br />As a warning: You'll be lucky if the candied walnuts make it to the plate because they are terribly and wonderfully addicting.
