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.
