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.Number of Servings: 1Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user GILLIMONSTER.
