For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of dried cranberries or pomegranate seeds. To toast the walnuts, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Watch carefully to prevent burning. If you prefer a milder flavor, substitute the bleu cheese with feta or goat cheese. The vinaigrette can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to whisk it again before using.

A symphony of flavors and textures, this salad is an effortless masterpiece. The creamy tang of bleu cheese dances with the sweet, nutty crunch of walnuts, all enrobed in a vibrant balsamic vinaigrette. Perfect as a light lunch or a sophisticated side, it can also be elevated into a substantial meal with the addition of grilled steak or chicken.
