Walnut and Blue Cheese Wedge image

"I love serving a classic for a holiday and the varied colors and textures on here give it an American holiday feel to me.... I love the addition of the cranberries and the tangy blue cheese, but for me the star of this salad is the glazed walnuts. Best of all, make the dressing and cut the salad ahead of time. When ready to serve, just assemble and enjoy." -Alex Guarnaschelli
