Glazed Walnut, Apple, and Blue Cheese Salad image

An easy salad to make using packaged (or homemade) glazed walnuts, fresh apples and salad greens, and Danish blue cheese. We especially love this salad drizzled with a nice creamy raspberry vinaigrette (such as Ghirard's brand dressing), but a Balsamic Fig dressing is also very nice. Enjoy! Recipe taken from Diamond Nut Toppings package (but I added a few things such as the craisins and coconut).
