Ingredients

3 ounces shelled unsalted walnuts
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Salt
freshly ground black pepper
6 spring onions or scallions, trimmed of roots

Small piece (about 1 ounce) of Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place walnuts on a baking sheet and toast until fragrant and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a kitchen towel and rub in towel to remove bitter outer skins. Lift nuts from towel, leaving skins behind, and set aside.
Prepare a vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine honey, vinegar and 1/4 cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Preheat a grill, and rub spring onions with 1 tablespoon oil. Quickly grill onions, about 1 minute a side. Cut onions into thirds, place in a small bowl, and coat with 1 tablespoon vinaigrette. Cover and set aside to cool.
To serve, place baby greens in a serving bowl. Add walnuts, onions and remaining vinaigrette. Toss well. Use a vegetable peeler to shave shards of cheese over the salad. Serve immediately.

SIMPLE LETTUCE SALAD

Simple Lettuce Salad image

MY Mother often fixed this salad when I was a child. I grew up on a farm and most of our food came right from the garden. We especially liked this in the spring, when early leaf lettuce appeared. After a long winter of cooked vegetables, this was a real treat.

CLASSIC WILTED LETTUCE SALAD

Classic Wilted Lettuce Salad image

When we were kids, my sister and I would prepare the freshly picked lettuce for this wilted lettuce salad recipe, rinsing it several times and carefully drying it. As we did so, we quibbled about the portions we'd each have. Somehow, it seems she always managed to get more! We still can't get enough of this salad. -Doris Natvig, Jesup, Iowa
