This is a very pretty salad, and full of flavor! It may look like a lot of work, but with salads,usually what you see before you are bags and bags of produce! But you can make it in no time flat! The candied walnuts are out of this world, the goat cheese, soft and creamy, with the onions, and the tang from the vinegars, it's a real winner! This serves 10, but you can certainly cut it in half or less. Source: Bon Apetit'

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large white onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped golden raisins
8 5 1/2x3x1/2-inch slices rustic country bread, such as walnut, pecan, or walnut-raisin
2 6-ounce wedges soft blue cheese (such as Cambazola, rind trimmed, or Gorgonzola dolcelatte), sliced
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, room temperature

Steps:

Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook until just beginning to color, stirring often, about 20 minutes. Add sugar and cook until onions are deep golden brown and very soft, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in vinegar and raisins. Season caramelized onions to taste with salt and pepper. Cool. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
Arrange 4 bread slices on work surface. Top with cheese, dividing equally. Top each with 1/4 cup caramelized onions. Top with remaining bread slices to form 4 sandwiches. Spread half of butter over tops of sandwiches. Heat heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add sandwiches, buttered side down. Spread remaining butter over tops of bread. Partially cover and cook until bottoms are brown, about 3 minutes. Turn sandwiches over. Cook until second sides brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Cut each sandwich into 6 wedges.

Tips:

Use a variety of blue cheeses to create a more complex flavor profile.
Caramelize the onions slowly over low heat to develop a rich, sweet flavor.
Toast the nuts in a dry skillet to enhance their flavor and add a crunchy texture.
Use a good-quality balsamic vinegar to add a touch of acidity and sweetness to the dish.
Serve the salad immediately, while the arugula is still crisp and the blue cheese is still melted.
