2 heads Romaine Lettuce (Can use 1 bag of spinach)
3/4 cup craisins
2 crisp apples
orange juice
2 oz blue cheese
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup sugar
Dressing
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup honey
1-2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp corasely ground black pepper
1/2 cup canola oil
Instructions
Combine walnuts and sugar in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly. After a few minutes, the sugar will liquify. Pay close attention; at this poin stir to cover walnuts with the sugar coating. The syrup will begin to darken and will coat the nuts. When they reach a golden brown color, remove from heat. Stir occasionally as the nuts begin to cool. After a few minutes, spread candied nuts onto wax paper to cool completely. Set aside.
Chop apples and toss in orange juice to prevent browning. When ready to serve, toss lettuce, cranberries, walnuts, apples and blue cheese in a large bowl. Mix all dressing ingredients together in a blender.
