- 2 ounces chopped walnuts toasted
Dressing
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1-1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1-1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup walnut oil

Notes
* If you don’t have walnut oil you can substitute extra-virgin olive oil.
* It’s likely you’ll have some extra dressing – it keeps for a few months in the refrigerator.
* Double or triple the recipe as needed.
