List of Ingredients




2 large yellow onions, peeled and cut into wedges
1 cup olive oil
1 Tablespoon white sugar
1/2 cup chicken broth
6 Tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
2 bags (12 oz. each) mixed salad greens
1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced


Recipe



Preheat oven to 400F.

Place onions cut side down on baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 Tablespoons oil and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 30 minutes. Turn onions over and bake until brown and caramelized, about 30 minutes longer. Set aside to cool.

Place onions in food processor, add remaining oil, broth and vinegar. Puree until smooth and thick. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.

In a large salad bowl, combine greens, 1/2 cup walnuts and half of red onion. Add enough dressing to coat greens, toss well. Sprinkle with remaining walnuts and red onion and serve.

COMMENTS:

I ended up finishing caramelizing the onions in a skillet. They just weren't getting that nice brown color fast enough for me. Got all the pieces nice and brown (accidentally used 2 TBS sugar instead of 1 but the sweetness was good). This way, in the skillet, I got each piece of onion nice and brown. Husband kept eating onions out of skillet they were so good.

**I then sauteed some salmon in this same skillet and got the top nice and caramelized too. Served the dressing warm over the lettuce, placed the salmon on top of the salad, a little more dressing and it was great. I really like the dressing warm.

If y'all don't try this you are missing out on happy taste buds!!!!
