1/4 cup Dijon mustard
5 teaspoons honey
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 cups baby spinach leaves

Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet and set aside to cool.

Thinly slice the celery stalks on the diagonal.
In a large salad bowl, toss the celery stalks with the romaine lettuce, spinach and onion crescents.
In a small, non-reactive bowl combine the lemon juice, Dijon mustard and honey. With a whisk, gradually mix in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
