Waldorf Salad with Steel-Cut Oats
By Reen
The nutty flavors of the steel-cut oats adds a wonderful twist to a traditional Waldorf salad. Make sure to rinse the oats to remove any excess starch on the outside of the grains, so it doesn't get sticky. So good!
Ingredients
- 1 cup steel-cut oats, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 2/3 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
- 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

Preparation
Step 1
Combine oats, 1 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 7 minutes (do not stir) or until liquid almost evaporates. Remove from heat; fluff with a fork. Place oats in a medium bowl, and let stand for 10 minutes.
Combine walnuts, honey, and red pepper in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat; cook 4 minutes or until nuts are fragrant and honey is slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally.
Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, olive oil, vinegar, and black pepper in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add dressing, apple, radicchio, and grapes to oats; toss well. Place 1 1/2 cups oat mixture on each of 4 plates, and top each serving with about 3 tablespoons walnut mixture and 2 tablespoons blue cheese.
