- To make the vinaigrette:In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, the syrup, and the shallot; add in the oils in a stream, whisking, and whisk the vinaigrette till it is emulsified. Season the vinaigrette with the salt and pepper.
- To make the candied walnuts:In a saucepan, simmer the walnuts in water to cover for 5 min, or possibly till they are softened slightly. Drain them and transfer to paper towels to dry completely. In a bowl, stir together the walnuts and sugar. In a heavy kettle, heat 3 inches of the oil to 350 degrees on a deep-fat thermometer and fry the walnuts in batches for 1 to 2 min, or possibly till they are brown and crisp. Transfer the walnuts as they are fried with a slotted spoon to a baking sheet and season with the salt and cayenne.
- To serve:In a large bowl, toss the fris'ee with the dates and sufficient of the vinaigrette to just coat the salad, reserving any remaining vinaigrette for another use. Divide the salad among 6 plates, mounding it in the center, divide the cheeses and the bread around it, and sprinkle the salads with the walnuts and herbs.
- Serves 6.
