4 red apples chopped
1/4 cup orange juice
2 (16 oz. bags mixed salad greens)
1 (6 oz. carton Gorgonzola cheese)
3/4 cup pomegranate seeds or raisins
1 recipe candied walnuts
1 recipe winter salad dressing
One half hour before serving time, combine apples and orange juice to keep apples fresh. At serving time drain off juices. Place everything in a bowl and mix.
Candied Walnuts
1/2 cup sugar
2 Tbs. water
1 cup walnuts
Line a baking sheet with well-greased foil or parchment paper. Place sugar and water in a small saucepan; stir to moisten sugar evenly. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook and stir until sugar melts and caramelizes to a rich brown color. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn. Remove from heat and add walnuts and stir with a fork to cover. Place nuts on baking sheet in an even layer. Let cool until caramel hardens. This step can be made days ahead if needed.
Winter Salad Dressing
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup vegetable oil or olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup honey
In a quart jar combine all dressing ingredients. Shake vigorously. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Dressing can be made a few days in advance if needed.
