Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a small skillet, dry-roast the walnuts over medium heat for about 4 minutes, or until just fragrant, stirring frequently. Remove from the skillet so they don’t burn.

    Step 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, garlic, oil, and honey. Drizzle over the salad. Toss gently.

    Sprinkle with the walnuts.

  2. Cook’s Tip

    You can substitute 3 or 4 thinly sliced strawberries for the dried cranberries if you prefer.
