Mixed Greens With Fuji Apples And Walnut Vinaigrette

• 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/3 cup walnut or vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons minced shallots
• 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon raw or firmly packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh chives
• Salt and pepper
• 2 Fuji or other sweet apples (8 oz. each)
• 3/4 cup thinly slivered red onion, rinsed
• 6 quarts mixed baby greens (1 lb.), rinsed and crisped
• 8 ounces Maytag or other blue cheese, crumbled

1. In an 8- to 10-inch frying pan over medium heat, stir walnuts often until lightly browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, shallots, garlic, mustard, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of the toasted walnuts. Stir in chives and salt and pepper to taste.
3. Rinse apples; quarter, core, and thinly slice lengthwise. Add apples, red onion, and mixed baby greens to dressing and mix to coat. Add half the cheese and mix gently. Mound salad equally on 8 to 10 plates. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and toasted walnuts. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
