Description

This is a salad I copied from Hill Top Cafe in Fredericksburg, TX: Spinach, Roquefort cheese, purple onion and candied walnuts with an apple vinaigrette. Prep time includes making the candied walnuts and the vinaigrette.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CANDIED WALNUTS:
  • 1 cup Walnuts, Halves Or Pieces
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • FOR SALAD DRESSING:
  • ¼ cups Apple Sauce
  • ¼ cups Olive Oil
  • ¼ cups Cider Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey
  • 1 dash Salt
  • 1 dash Ground Pepper
  • ½ Tablespoons Chopped Flat Leaf Parsley
  • ½ Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Basil
  • For Salad Plate:
  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach
  • ½ whole Purple Onion, Sliced Very Thin
  • ½ cups Or More To Taste, Roquefort Or Blue Cheese, Crumbled
  • ½ cups Apple Vinaigrette, Recipe Above
  • Candied Walnuts (a Sprinkling)

Preparation

To candy walnuts: Pour sugar into heavy-bottom sauce pan. Allow to melt until it is a light amber color. Pour in walnuts, stir to coat. Immediately transfer walnuts onto wax paper and use two forks to separate pieces. Allow to cool.

To make vinaigrette: Mix all ingredients (apple sauce, olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt, pepper, parsley, basil) in a bowl. Set aside.

To plate: Put 1/4 cup of spinach on plate. Sprinkle on cheese, sliced onion, candied walnuts, and drizzle with vinaigrette.

It’s a salad so all measurements are approximate with exception of vinaigrette.
