Apple Walnut Salad

One of my favorite green salads.
4 apples, coarsely chopped (whatever apple are your favorite)
2 (16 oz) bags mixed salad greens
1 (6 0z) gorgonzola cheese
3/4 cup pomegranate seeds or craisins
1 recipe candied walnuts
1 recipe winter salad dressing

(Feel free to add any or take away any ingredients. I like to play around with the stuff in it to mix it up. I frequently add avocado.)

If making ahead of time put chopped apples in orange juice or lemon juice.

Candied walnuts
1 T. butter
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup walnuts

Melt butter in sauce pan. When melted add sugar and walnuts; stir until walnuts are browned

Winter salad dressing
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup oil
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 honey or sugar

Combine ingredient in a plastic container and shake vigorously.
