Prepped the vinaigrette & toasted the walnuts in the morning, while making breakfast. Dressed the greens and onions separately just before serving, then composed on individual plates rather than tossing. Very attractive and flavorful, yet so simple. Served as last course to CL's tenderloin steaks with onion marmalade.02/07/10
