For a richer flavor, consider using a vintage port wine. Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. If you don't have a blender, you can whisk the dressing ingredients together vigorously. Serve immediately after assembling to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
