I had this salad at one of my favorite restaurants. I couldn't figure out the secret until I toasted the walnuts. This salad blends all the flavors together well, it is a great side to just about anything. Easy to put together and chill while you cook other things. If you don't have raspberry vinaigrette, try with Five Star House Salad Dressing. Ingredients:
1 (5 ounce) bag mixed baby lettuces and spring greens (baby greens) |
2 (11 ounce) cans mandarin orange segments (drained) |
1 cup walnut pieces |
4 ounces crumbled gorgonzola or 4 ounces blue cheese |
1 tablespoon butter |
raspberry vinaigrette dressing |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a sauce pan.
2. Stir in walnut pieces and coat with butter.
3. Stir for 4 minutes and remove from pan and set aside.
4. Allow to cool to room temperature.
5. Toss greens, mandarin orange segments and crumbled cheese.
6. Toss with toasted walnuts and serve with raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing.
