For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the walnut halves in a dry skillet for a few minutes before candying them. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the raspberry vinaigrette. For a vegetarian option, ensure your Gorgonzola cheese is made with vegetable rennet. The candied walnuts can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
