  • ¼ t. cayenne pepper
  • ¼ t. sea salt
  • 1 C. walnut halves

For the French Walnut-Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette:

Directions:

To make the Candied Spiced Walnuts:

In a sauté pan, melt the butter and add the remaining ingredients. Stir until the walnuts are coated thoroughly and cool on parchment or wax paper.

To make the French Walnut Honey Vinaigrette:

In a small bowl or food processor, whisk together Honey Balsamic Vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the Walnut Oil. Whisk until thoroughly emulsified. Add poppy seeds and whisk until incorporated.

To Serve:

In a large bowl, combine greens, bacon, goat cheese, candied walnuts, kiwi fruit, cucumber and red onion. Reserve the cantaloupe balls until final tossing (they are heavy and will sink to the bottom of the bowl.) Drizzle with French Walnut -Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette, toss, add cantaloupe and gently toss
