Salad with Pastry Packages

 

In each salad " package " is a flavor-packed

cheese-and-grape surprise.

 

 

1-1/2 cups seedless red grapes, halved

1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese or blue cheese

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

6 sheets frozen phyllo dough (about 17x12-inch

rectangles), thawed

3 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted

1/3 cup balsamic vinegar or cider vinegar

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed

1/4 cup salad oil

Salt

4 cups torn fresh spinach or mixed salad greens

4 cups torn red-tip leaf lettuce or radicchio

Coarsely ground pink peppercorns

Small clusters of seedless red grapes (optional)

Fresh chives (optional)

 

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl

combine halved grapes, cheese, and walnuts. Set aside.

 

2. For pastry packages, unfold phyllo dough. Cover

phyllo with plastic wrap to help keep it from drying

out; remove sheets as needed. Brush 1 phyllo sheet

with some of the melted margarine or butter. Top with

another sheet of phyllo and brush with some of the

melted margarine. Add 1 more sheet for a total of 3

sheets, brushing each sheet with margarine. Use

remaining phyllo and melted margarine to make a second

3-layer stack of phyllo. Trim each stack into a

14-inch square; cut each large square into four 7-inch

squares.

3. Place 1/4 cup of the grape-cheese mixture onto the

center of one 7-inch square. Fold 2 opposite sides of

phyllo over filling; fold remaining 2 sides of phyllo

over, forming a square package. Press edges lightly to

seal. Place, seam side down, on a lightly greased

baking sheet or 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Repeat with

remaining phyllo squares and filling. Brush with any

remaining melted margarine. Bake 10 minutes or until

golden.

4. For dressing, in a food processor bowl or blender

container combine vinegar, garlic, and thyme. With

food processor or blender running, slowly add the 1/4

cup salad oil; process or blend until combined. Add

salt to taste.

5. To serve, for each salad, place one pastry package

in the center of a salad plate. Surround with spinach

or salad greens and red-tip lettuce or radicchio.

Drizzle the greens with 1 tablespoon of the dressing.

Sprinkle with pepper. If desired, garnish with small

clusters of grapes and fresh chives. Makes 8 side-dish

salads.
