Grand America Salad

I had this salad at an event at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City, Utah.  I've had salads similar to this, but the roasted grapes and toasted nuts and coconut took it to an extra tasty level--do it if you have the time!

Salad Ingredients:
butter leaf lettuce
walnuts or pecans, toasted
shaved coconut, toasted
grapes, roasted (if desired)
radishes, sliced
gorgonzola cheese

Creamy Balsamic Dressing
-This dressing doesn't actually have mayonnaise, but when you blend it in a blender to emulsify the oil and vinegar it takes on a beautiful creamy look!
1/2 c. light olive oil
1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
1/4 c. honey
1 clove garlic
1 TBS dijon mustard
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
-Blend all ingredients in a blender on high for 2 minutes until emulsified (keeps dressing from separating).
