Ingredients:
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced shallot or red onions
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons quality walnut oils, (see Cook's Note)
8 cups baby spinach leaves, stems trimmed, washed, and dried
1/2 cup whole or chopped toasted walnuts
1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese


Directions:
In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, shallot, mustard, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in the oil to make a creamy dressing.

Serve immediately topped with goat cheese and walnuts.
