Walnut Dressing

  • Heat your oven to 375 F. Place your walnuts on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until toasted. Do not burn or they will become bitter.

  • Add additional water, salt, and pepper until you've reached your desired taste and consistency. Add the desired amount to your Harvest Waldorf Salad and enjoy!
  • Keeps well in an airtight container and in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Salad

  • Chop your celery, apples, grapes, and walnuts.
  • Add your prepared ingredients to a large bowl with your mixed greens and remaining ingredients.
  • Drizzled with your desired amount of the creamy walnut dressing and toss to coat evenly. Enjoy immediately!
