If you receive candied or spiced nuts as a holiday gift, try them on this salad for a special touch. To splurge, use a variety of mushrooms such as shiitake, portobello, oyster, or enoki. Often grocers carry a gourmet mushroom mix. Standard white mushrooms will yield tasty results too. Ingredients:
1/2 cup walnut halves |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 pound assorted mushrooms, trimmed and coarsely chopped |
honey-balsamic vinaigrette, divided |
1 (4-oz.) package arugula, thoroughly washed |
1 large cameo apple, thinly sliced |
3 ounces goat cheese, crumbled |
Directions:
1. Place walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
2. Bake at 350° for 8 to 10 minutes or until toasted.
3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add mushrooms, and saute 6 minutes or until tender. Stir in 2 Tbsp. Honey-Balsamic Vinaigrette. Remove from heat, and let cool 15 minutes.
4. Toss together arugula, apple, mushrooms, and desired amount of Honey-Balsamic Vinaigrette. Transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with toasted walnuts and goat cheese.
