Salad Dessert

i need a summer salad that will make me the hit of the picnic?
I need something that is pretty and tastes good also. I would prefer veg./ pasta, rather then a dessert type salad
I used this salad for a client last summer and it was the hit of the meal. It can also be a base salad for a meal topped with grilled chicken or fish.
Mine was served with a chipotle cranberry roasted pork shank, so it will hold up with regular BBQ’d meats as well. This recipe serves 6 to 8 as a side.
1 head green leaf or butter lettuce
1 head red leaf lettuce
2 shallots sliced thinly
1 star fruit sliced thinly
3/4 cup pine nuts or sliced almonds toasted
1 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese (or any crumbled bleu cheese you prefer)
3 large tomatos seeded and diced
4 large peaches or nectarines halved and placed on the grill for about 4 minutes, then sliced.
Your favorite vinaigrette
(the one I used is 1/3 cup basalmic vinegar, 2/3 cup olive oil, tbsp dijon mustard, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp honey, 1/2 tsp black pepper and some fresh thyme to taste)
Assemble salad by placing chopped or pulled lettuce 1st and then arrange the other ingredients on top the way you like it. Toss with the dressing at the last minute.
