TOASTED WALNUT SALAD WITH MANDARIN ORANGES AND GORGONZOLA CHEESE



Toasted Walnut Salad With Mandarin Oranges and Gorgonzola Cheese image

I had this salad at one of my favorite restaurants. I couldn't figure out the secret until I toasted the walnuts. This salad blends all the flavors together well, it is a great side to just about anything. Easy to put together and chill while you cook other things. If you don't have raspberry vinaigrette, try with Recipe #23478.
