Whisk egg yolks and slowly add walnut oil, beating all the while till emulsified. Fold in crème fraiche, yogurt and lemon juice. Season to taste. Set aside. Combine all ingredients for salad except walnuts and chill for at least 1 hour. About 1 hour before serving, fold toasted walnuts into salad; divide and spoon onto individual serving plates.
Notes: If pasteurized egg yolks are unavailable, combine yolks, crème fraîche and yogurt in top of double boiler and heat 15 to 20 minutes, stirring constantly, to get to 160°F. Then, whisk in oil and lemon juice and whisk till emulsified.
