How to Make a Strawberry Gorgonzola Salad 
First, get all your ingredients on hand, including: baby spinach leaves, green onions, sliced almonds gorgonzola cheese, strawberries, and a red onion.
Then, place your clean baby spinach leaves in a salad bowl that you want to serve the strawberry Gorgonzola salad in.
After that, it’s just a matter of laying on your ingredients. First lay a section of sliced almonds, about 1/3 cup.
Next, wash your strawberries and pat them dry. Then stem them and slice them into quarters. Some people also like to core the center of them with a small knife. Arrange your strawberries on another section of the salad.
After that move to the green onions. Chop them into about 1/3 cup of scallions, and lay them in a pile on top of the salad as well.
Next chop some red onion, about 1/3 cup. This will usually be about a quarter to a half of a whole red onion.
Finally gently crumble your Gorgonzola and place it in the final space on the salad. Don’t chop your Gorgonzola but allow it to crumble naturally where it breaks. And avoid buying pre-crumbled Gorgonzola in the store. It’s much dryer and more bland. Fresh Gorgonzola is well worth the extra step.
Use tongs to gently mix the salad when you’re ready to serve it on individual plates. Serve with some flavorful vinaigrette.
