INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE VINAIGRETTE
FOR THE CANDIED WALNUTS
To make the vinaigrette:
In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, the syrup, and the shallot;
add the oils in a stream, whisking, and whisk the vinaigrette until it is
emulsified. Season the vinaigrette with the salt and pepper.
To make the candied walnuts:
In a saucepan, simmer the walnuts in water to cover for 5 minutes, or until
they are softened slightly. Drain them and transfer to paper towels to dry
completely. In a bowl, stir together the walnuts and sugar. In a heavy
kettle, heat 3 inches of the oil to 350 degrees on a deep-fat thermometer
and fry the walnuts in batches for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they are brown
and crisp. Transfer the walnuts as they are fried with a slotted spoon to a
baking sheet and season with the salt and cayenne.
To serve:
In a large bowl, toss the fris'ee with the dates and enough of the
vinaigrette to just coat the salad, reserving any remaining vinaigrette for
another use. Divide the salad among 6 plates, mounding it in the center,
divide the cheeses and the bread around it, and sprinkle the salads with
the walnuts and herbs. Serves 6.
