Instructions

Mix dressing ingredients in a mason jar or small bowl until emulsified.
Add salad ingredients to large bowl and toss. Dress salad with honey balsamic just prior to serving.

Notes

Could swap the blue cheese for another soft cheese, preferably with pungent flavor or texture. Walnuts can be toasted for extra flavor. If gluten free, you can use quinoa for ancient grains. I used Trader Joe's Harvest Blend.
