Recipe: Mixed Field Greens with Spiced Walnuts, Blue Cheese and Raspberry Vinaigrette

Hi Janet :-) I found this recipe for you on the internet so I have not tried it. I hope that it is what you are looking for.

Mixed Field Greens With Spiced Walnuts, Blue Cheese and Raspberry Vinaigrette

From the Houston Chronicle files. This originated at Lake Austin Spa Resort in Austin and was developed using HEB's More Fruit Spread. The recipe can be made with Roquefort, Stilton or Gorgonzola instead of blue cheese; a variety of spring greens (field greens, mesclun or a mixture of spring greens and watercress) may be used. Many cooks like to add goat cheese cakes instead of blue cheese. Toasted walnuts or pecans can replace the Spiced Walnuts.
