    1/2 cup red seedless grapes, halved
    3 1/2 ounces quality gorgonzola, crumbled
    1/2 cup candied walnuts or 1/2 cup candied pecans, halves (may purchase or make Candied Walnuts)

    1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Preparation
    Place baby romaine leaves in a salad bowl and top with sliced grapes, candied nuts and crumbled gorgonzola (if making your own candied nuts do this step first so they have a moment to cool).
