Arugula Salad With Caramelized Onions Cheese And Candied Walnuts Recipes

ARUGULA SALAD WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS, GOAT CHEESE AND CANDIED W

This is a very pretty salad, and full of flavor! It may look like a lot of work, but with salads,usually what you see before you are bags and bags of produce! But you can make it in no time flat! The candied walnuts are out of this world, the goat cheese, soft and creamy, with the onions, and the tang from the vinegars, it's a real winner! This serves 10, but you can certainly cut it in half or less. Source: Bon Apetit'
