  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup walnut halves
  • 1/4 cup raspberry vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons O Organics™ Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Safeway Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 3/4 pound Eating Right butter lettuce, leaf lettuce, or salad mix (1 kind or a combination), rinsed, crisped, and torn into bite-size pieces
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup raspberries, rinsed and drained

  1. Lay a 10- to 12-inch-long sheet of foil on a heatproof surface and rub lightly with salad oil.
  2. In an 8- to 10-inch frying pan over medium-high heat, combine sugar and walnuts. Shake and tilt pan often until sugar is melted and amber-colored and nuts are coated, 4 to 5 minutes total.

Discard foil; break candy into chunks, place in a heavy plastic food bag, and hit gently with a flat mallet to break into small pieces. Store airtight up to 2 days.
  3. In a wide shallow bowl, whisk vinegar with olive oil, honey, mayonnaise, and pepper.
  4. Add lettuce, onion, raspberries, cheese, and walnut candy. Mix and season to taste with salt.
