Ingredients
- 3 bunches arugula (about 6 cups packed), tough stems discarded, rinsed and dried
- 1 Belgian endive, separated into leaves
- Sherry-Walnut Oil dressing, recipe follows
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
- Caramelized Walnuts, recipe follows
Directions
Toss the arugula and endive in a bowl with the dressing and the salt and pepper. Divide the greens among 4 salad plates. Top each serving with goat cheese and the caramelized nuts. Serve.
Sherry-Walnut Oil Dressing:
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Creole mustard
- 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons walnut oil
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
In a small bowl, mix together the mustard, vinegar and salt. Whisk in the walnut oil and olive oil, beating to emulsify.
Caramelized walnuts:
- 1/2-cup walnut halves
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Pinch cayenne
- 1-teaspoon walnut oil
In a medium skillet, cook the walnuts, brown sugar, salt, cayenne and 1 teaspoon of walnut oil over medium-high heat. Cook until the sugar caramelizes and coats the nuts, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to separate the nuts. Transfer to a baking sheet covered with waxed paper to cool. (Note: Caramelized nuts will keep in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for several days.)

Why buy granola when this is so easy to make and sooo good. It's excellent for a meal or a snack especially if your on a diet, and a really good appetite suppressor.

This was an excellent salad that was very well received by my guests at a BBQ. Even the young boy had a 2nd helpings of it. I added some baby greens to the lettuce mix, not knowing if the guests were arugula fans. I love arugula, so there was a heavy dose of that, as well. It all went together so well. The dressing was an excellent compliment to the flavors. This is a keeper. Thanks Emeril for another fantastic recipe!

Made dressing with balsalmic vinegar and walnut oil, fresh pressed garlic, salt, pepper, sugar. I didn't have the sherry wine vinegar or Creole mustard on hand. The goat cheese and carmelized walnuts in combination w/ an arugula mix worked great too.
