Steps:
- Start by making the candied walnuts. Preheat your oven to 225. Line a large baking sheet with foil.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg white and water until foamy, about 30 seconds.
- Add the walnuts and stir to coat.
- Add the walnuts to a strainer in your sink. Try to prop it up on something so that the walnuts can drain, and leave it there for 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile in a large ziplock, shake together sugar, cinnamon, and allspice. Add the egg white-coated walnuts, seal, and shake. Make sure they all get coated really well.
- Dump the walnuts on the prepared pan and spread them out in a single layer, breaking up clumps.
- Bake at 225 for 1 hour. Stir every 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- In a blender, add the white wine vinegar, oregano, mustard, salt, pepper, garlic, and red onion (if you think you can eyeball it pretty well, you don't have to finely mince it first, just throw in what looks like it will be 2 tablespoons minced. Be conservative!)
- Blend together. Open the spout while the blender is running and slowly pour in 3/4 cup olive oil. Set aside.
- Wash and chop the lettuce into bite size pieces, drying it in a salad spinner if you have one. (I love my salad spinner. It's so fun!)
- Core the apples. Chop one into bite size pieces, and thinly slice the other one. Put them immediately in a medium bowl with the lemon juice, stirring to coat. (This is to prevent browning, and is only necessary if you are interested in pretty presentation.)
- Add all the romaine to a large serving bowl. Add at least 1/2 cup of the dressing, or more. Stir to coat. Add the chopped apples, 1/2 to 1 cup candied walnuts, most of the gorgonzola, and most of the cranberries. Toss together.
- Top the salad with additional walnuts, gorgonzola, and cranberries. Layer the sliced apples on top however you like.

APPLE GORGONZOLA SALAD
I recreated this at home after having a very similar salad at Buca di Beppo (an Italian family style restaurant). Ingredient amounts are approximate, because I simply toss in the amount that "looks" right. But, the combination of ingredients are soooo good. I think even the most inexperienced can throw this together without explicit instructions... :) Oh, for the Spiced Walnuts, try something similar to Chef #159145' Recipe #139127.

APPLE GORGONZOLA SALAD WITH BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
My take on the apple gorgonzola salad at Buca di Beppo. I have also made the dressing using Apple Cider Vinegar in place of the Balsamic with excellent results. It is a family and friend favorite!

APPLE, ENDIVE & GORGONZOLA SALAD
This recipe from Gourmet Magazine (October 1998) makes a wonderfully simple and delicious winter salad. The dressing is fabulous and you may want to try it on other salads. (Also, this makes a lightly dressed salad, some may want to double the dressing. Cut the apple soon before serving so that it does not brown. You can also try this with raw (untoasted) or candied nuts. Enjoy!

APPLE GORGONZOLA SALAD
This is a delicious salad that is simple and elegant. It is different from the others I've seen as it has a lower sugar content, so it doesn't take away from the goodness of the salad itself.
