Recipe Notes
- Keep a watchful eye as walnuts cook. They are done once they have turned a light golden brown and you can smell them. Walnuts can go from being done to burnt very quickly.
- Garlic is optional and should not be used if anyone is sensitive to garlic.
- The amount of salt and pepper is based on personal preferences. However, I have found a 1/2 tsp sea salt and a 1/4 tsp black pepper to work well for this size of salad.
