APPLE CIDER VINEGAR AND HONEY VINAIGRETTE DRESSING
Great to top a salad made with fresh baby greens, apples, candied toasted walnuts and a soft mild cheese. This recipe is a combo of a bunch of recipes - this one works the best for the above ingredients for my taste. I use unfiltered apple cider vinegar and fresh honey from the bee keeper from the farmers market but you can use any cider vinegar and honey that you have on hand.

Steps:
- Make the spiced walnuts:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, spices, and salt. Toast the walnuts lightly on a sheet pan in the oven, for about 4-5 minutes. While the nuts are toasting, heat the spiced sugar in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. When the sugar just begins to melt around the edges, toss in the warm nuts, straight from the oven. Shake the pan vigorously over the burner until all the nuts are coated in sugar - it will cling in somewhat uneven patches, but that is the effect I like. Pour the nuts onto a plate or baking sheet to cool - don't be tempted to try one until they have really cooled down, since sugar at this temperature will give you a burned tongue to remember!
- Make your salad:
- Toss the salad greens with the spiced walnuts and the vinaigrette and top with a generous slice of ham and 1 ounce of cheese per person, according to the seasons (see Weighing Your Options).
- Weighing your options:
- Spring: Grilled Asparagus with Serrano Ham and Maytag Blue Cheese (to grill asparagus, blanch the asparagus to halfway tender, brush with a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill until lightly brown)
- Summer: Fresh Black Mission Figs with Smithfield Ham and Aged Goat Cheese
- Fall: Lightly Roasted Seckel Pears with Pecorino Romano and Prosciutto
- Winter: Blood Oranges and Fennel with Feta and Prosciutto
Tips
- Use a variety of nuts. Spiced walnuts are the star of this recipe, but you can also use pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts.
- Roast the nuts before spicing them. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crispy.
- Use a variety of spices. The spices in this recipe are just a suggestion. Feel free to experiment with different combinations of spices to create your own unique blend.
- Don't overcook the nuts. Keep a close eye on them while they are roasting so that they don't burn.
- Let the nuts cool completely before adding them to the salad. This will help to prevent the nuts from making the salad soggy.
- Use a light touch with the honey-apple cider vinaigrette. You don't want to overdress the salad.
- Serve the salad immediately. This is a dish that is best enjoyed fresh.
Conclusion
Spiced walnuts are a delicious and versatile addition to any winter salad. They add a crunchy texture, a nutty flavor, and a touch of sweetness. The honey-apple cider vinaigrette is the perfect complement to the walnuts, and it brings all of the flavors of the salad together. This salad is a great way to celebrate the flavors of the season and enjoy a healthy meal.
