  • 4

Ingredients

  • Candied Walnuts:
  • 6 ounces baby-greens salad mix
  • 1 red tomato, sliced into wedges
  • 1 yellow tomato, sliced into wedges
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 3 tbsp walnut oil
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup blue or Roquefort cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup Candied Walnuts
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Preparation

Step 1

In a large salad bowl, toss salad greens, tomato wedges, blueberries, walnut oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Mix in blue cheese and top with Candied Walnuts.

Candied Walnuts: Heat a medium-size pan over medium-low heat. Toast the walnuts lightly for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour walnuts into a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm. Place pan over medium-low heat and coat it with the oil. Add sugar to pan. Without stirring or shaking, let the sugar melt. When the sugar is evenly melted and beginning to turn a caramel color, add the walnuts and stir until well-coated. Pour onto a baking sheet. Use a fork to break up the nuts. Set aside to cool. Store in a sealed container.
