Instructions: Toss the arugula and endive in a bowl with the dressing and the salt and pepper. Divide the greens among 4 salad plates. Top each serving with goat cheese and the caramelized nuts. Serve.

For Sherry-Walnut Oil Dressing: In a small bowl, mix together the mustard, vinegar and salt. Whisk in the walnut oil and olive oil, beating to emulsify.

For Caramelized Walnuts: In a medium skillet, cook the walnuts, brown sugar, salt, cayenne and 1 teaspoon of walnut oil over medium-high heat. Cook until the sugar caramelizes and coats the nuts, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to separate the nuts. Transfer to a baking sheet covered with waxed paper to cool. (Note: Caramelized nuts will keep in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for several days.)
