For an extra layer of flavor, toast the walnuts lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, until fragrant. If you don't have cranberry vinaigrette, a balsamic vinaigrette with a touch of maple syrup works beautifully as well. Feel free to add other seasonal fruits like sliced pears or mandarin oranges for added sweetness and color. For a vegetarian option, use a plant-based blue cheese alternative.
