Spanish-style Salad by Bookseller

I had an incredible Spanish-style salad last week that would go really well with that. It was endive and watercress, thin slices of skin-on red apples, thin slices of manchego cheese, TOASTED walnuts (really important to toast them), and -- the best part -- a healthy sprinkling of pomegranate seeds. The seeds were beautiful and Valentines-y, like little red jewels, but they were also delicious, little pops of sweetness. The dressing was just a basic herb vinaigrette, maybe a little thyme -- no mustard, no balsamic. It was one of the best salads I've ever had. Subbing fresh goat cheese for the manchego would probably work well also.
