By Hklbrries

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup walnut oil
• 1/4 cup salad oil
• 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1/8 tsp salt
• Dash of white pepper
• 2 large tart green apples
• 1 large head romaine or green leaf lettuce, washed and crisped
• 3 ounces (about 2/3 cup) crumbled Gorgonzola or other blue-veined cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare Gingered Walnuts: Pour salad oil into an 8-inch square baking pan. Place pan in oven; preheat to 250 F. When oven is hot, remove pan and stir in soy sauce, ground ginger, salt and garlic powder. Add walnut halves, stirring to coat with oil mixture. Spread nuts in a single layer. Bake, stirring occasionally, until nuts are crisp and browned (about 30 minutes). Let cool on paper towels. If made ahead, store nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
