Candied Walnut Gorgonzola Salad
The candied walnuts alone are amazing -- and amazingly easy to make! I usually make extra and serve them on the side.
1/2 cup walnut halves
1/4 cup sugar
3 cups mixed greens
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1 Tablespoon raspberry vinaigrette
1 Tablespoon white vinegar
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1. Place walnuts and sugar in a skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves into a light brown liquid and coats the walnuts. Remove walnuts from skillet, and spread them out on a sheet of aluminum foil to cool.
2. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cranberries, cheese, vinaigrette, vinegar, and olive oil. Toss gently. Add candied walnuts, and toss again.

Heat shallots in oil to infuse their flavor into oil (about 10 minutes) Allow oil to return to room temp. Mix in the vinegar with a whisk and toss with the salad greens.
(you can also substitue 1/2 clove of garlic per person in place of the shallot) Repeat recipe above infusing the garlic flavor into oil.

1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup orange juice
