For a richer flavor, consider toasting the walnuts lightly before caramelizing them. If you don't have a blender, you can whisk the vinaigrette ingredients together vigorously. Be sure to finely mince the red onion. Feel free to add a sprinkle of crumbled goat cheese or blue cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
