Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup walnut pieces
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard powder
3 tablespoons walnut oil or olive oil
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large head Bibb lettuce, leaves torn
2/3 cup coarsely crumbled feta cheese or blue cheese (about 3 ounces)
2 oranges

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Scatter nuts on rimmed baking sheet. Add 2 tablespoons water and sugar; toss until sugar dissolves and syrup coats nuts. Roast until water evaporates and nuts are crisp, stirring once, about 15 minutes. Cool on sheet.
  • Whisk vinegar, orange peel, and mustard in small bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in walnut and olive oils. Season dressing with salt and pepper.
  • Combine lettuce and cheese in large bowl. Cut peel and pith off oranges. Cut between membranes, releasing orange segments. Add segments and walnuts to salad. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Serve, passing remaining dressing.

I thought this salad was just okay. The dressing was a little too sweet for my taste and the candied walnuts were a bit too hard.

This salad is so refreshing and flavorful. I love the crunch from the walnuts and the tang from the oranges.

I've made this salad several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's a great way to use up leftover oranges and walnuts.

Loved the unique flavor combo! The sweetness from the oranges and the saltiness from the feta cheese complemented each other perfectly.

This recipe was easy to follow and the salad turned out delicious. I used a mix of red and green bibb lettuce and added some chopped red onion for extra flavor.
