For an extra layer of flavor, consider candying the walnuts with a touch of maple syrup or honey during the toasting process. If Gorgonzola isn't your preference, crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese make excellent substitutes. Freshly squeezed orange juice will provide the brightest flavor for the vinaigrette. Bottled juice can be used in a pinch. Adjust the amount of vinaigrette according to your preference. You may not need all of it.
