Preparation

Step 1

Divide salad greens among four plates. Cut apple quarters into 8 thin slices; arrange in a circle in middle of each plate. Place 2 slices goat cheese in center of each circle. (Can be done shortly before serving, covered and refrigerated.)
In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook mushrooms, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender.
Add green onions, honey, vinegar, salt and pepper; cook, stirring, for 15 seconds or until hot. Remove from heat. Spoon warm mushroom mixture over salad greens. Sprinkle with walnuts. Serve immediately.
