1 1/2 cups chopped toasted walnuts (see note)
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 cup apple cider
3/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions:
For vinaigrette; In large bowl, mix chopped walnuts with cider
vinegar, apple cider, honey and mustard. In separate bowl,
mix oils. While mixing, slowly drizzle oil into walnut mixture to
emulsify. Before serving, warm over a very low
heat, making sure not to boil. (makes 1 quart)
To prepare salad, place spinach leaves in a serving bowl and
top with cheese and the toasted walnuts. Place apples
around outside, drizzle with warm walnut vinaigrette and
serve.

Makes 4 servings.

Note: to toast walnuts, sprinkle nuts in ungreased heavy
skillet. Cook over medium heat 5-7 minutes, stirring
frequently until nuts begin to brown, then stirring constantly
until golden brown. Or, toast in microwave by spreading 1
cups nuts on paper plate. Cook on high for 2 1/2-4 minutes,
or until lightly browned, stirring every 2 minutes.
