Preparation
- Step 1
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.
- Step 2
Prepare a vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine honey, vinegar and ¼ cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Step 3
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.
- Step 4
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.

I love the idea of this salad. However, I had to add more vinegar (I doubled it) and cut back on the cheese (about 1/2).
