ORANGE WALNUT SALAD (PAULA DEEN)
This is as pretty as it is easy. The sweet and sour salad dressing would be delicious on a variety of other salads as well. Paula Deen made this on Food Network and it looked so delicious I had to try it right away! This recipe is large enough for a big dinner party, but don't be afraid to rescale for a smaller group.

ENDIVE SALAD WITH CANDIED WALNUTS, ORANGE CARAMEL DRESSING AND BLUE CHEESE
You can use a lot of oranges for this recipe: Minneolas, tangerines, navels. You can also use tangerines if you prefer - whatever looks best at the supermarket. This is fun because you candy the nuts and clean the caramel off the pan by using it to make a tasty dressing. The sweetness is so good with the walnuts and bitter greens. Use endive, chicory, escarole, radicchio or whatever other bitter greens are good. Want to be dairy-free? Simply omit the blue cheese.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Arrange the walnuts on a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and place in the center of the oven. Toast until the nuts are golden brown, really toasted, 5 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Spray a parchment paper-lined baking sheet with nonstick spray. In a large saute pan, heat the sugar over medium heat until it melts and turns a light amber color, 5 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle the walnuts in a single layer over the caramel. Spray a rubber spatula with nonstick spray and stir the nuts, quickly but carefully, to coat with the caramel. Transfer the nuts from the pan onto the prepared baking sheet, sprinkling the nuts so they separate as they land on the parchment. Season with salt.
- To the pan with the residual caramel, add the vinegar and orange juice. Warm the pan, whisking until the caramel, vinegar and orange juice are well combined. Remove from the heat. Whisk in the mustard and oil. Adjust the seasoning.
- Arrange the endive and radicchio leaves in a single layer on a family-style large platter. Intersperse the orange segments and walnuts with the endive and radicchio. Season with salt to taste. Drizzle with all of the dressing. Top with the blue cheese and parsley. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality walnuts. Look for walnuts that are plump and have a deep brown color. Avoid walnuts that are shriveled or have a pale color.
- Toast the walnuts before using them. Toasting the walnuts will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. To toast the walnuts, spread them out on a baking sheet and bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Use fresh oranges. The fresher the oranges, the better the salad will be. If you can, use organic oranges.
- Zest the oranges before juicing them. The zest of the oranges will add a lot of flavor to the salad. To zest the oranges, use a microplane grater to grate the peel off of the oranges. Be careful not to grate the white pith, as this can make the salad bitter.
- Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil will help to emulsify the dressing and make it smooth and creamy. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity flavor.
- Season the salad to taste. Add salt and pepper to the salad to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a little bit of heat.
- Serve the salad immediately. The salad is best served immediately after it is made. This will help to prevent the walnuts from getting soggy.
Conclusion:
Candied Walnut Orange Salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its sweet and savory flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
