We have a salad almost every night with dinner – usually made with arugula. We love arugula and it is such a great local, fall green! For this easy salad, I topped our arugula with spoonfuls of goat cheese, thinly sliced Pink Lady Apples and toasted walnuts.

| Apples, Goat Cheese, and Toasted Walnuts Salad |
 |
| Walnuts, butter, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, rosemary |
Ingredients:
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons of maple syrup
1 tablespoon of butter
1 sprig of rosemary – stripped
pinch of cayenne pepper
Directions …
Combine all the ingredients in a small frying pan. Stir the walnuts to coat. Cook over low for about 10 minutes – stirring as needed. Don’t let the walnuts burn! Serve right on top of your salad and if you have any extra, put them in a small container and save them for later.
