Ingredients

Salad:1 cup Arugula (washed & spun dry).5 cup grapes, halved3 tbsp gorgonzola cheese crumblesCandied nuts:2 tbsp chopped walnuts (can sub pecans or hazelnuts).5 tsp granulated sugar1 tsp olive oilSalad dressing:1 tbsp raspberry vinegar2 tsp olive oil1 tsp dijon mustardsalt & pepper to taste

Directions

This recipe is for one salad. It's easy to double, or to make a large batch of the dressing for future salads.

First, make the dressing by combining the vinegar, oil, mustard, and salt & pepper in a jam jar and shake (or you could put it in a bowl and whisk it together, whatever floats your boat).

Create your salad by topping a bed of arugula with the halved grapes. Toss with the dressing, and then top with gorgonzola crumbles.

Next, in a small pan, stir together your chopped nuts with 1 tsp oil and the sugar, trying to get the nuts pretty well coated. Keep stirring until the sugar gets a bit melted to the nuts and the nuts begin to look and smell toasted.

Put the still-hot nuts directly on top of the gorgonzola crumbles on your salad, and enjoy.
