Put the walnuts in a skillet, add the sugar and cook over medium to medium-high heat for about 3 minutes stirring continuously. The sugar will melt and will turn brown caramel color. Remove from heat and spread out on a piece of wax paper for a few minutes to cool so the walnut pieces won’t stick together.
Divide the ingredients among 5 plates and top with the dressing before serving.
