createWalnut Oil Vinegrette
Submitted by Andrew on 27 March 2007 - 11:19pm.
I first made this variation of a simple vinaigrette when I had a vegan coming for dinner. The strong nutty flavor of the walnut oil added depth to the salad and made the side stand out on the plate. I have made it many times since. It goes well with all types of leafy greens from arugula to radicchio.
Ready
- Walnut oil (I like La Nogalera Walnut Oil)
- A good Balsamic Vinegar
- Salt
- Ground Peppercorns
Set
- Small bowl
- Small whisk
Go
- Add walnut oil to the bowl
- Add roughly ⅓ as much balsamic to the bowl.
- Throw in a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper.
- Whisk well.
- Taste.
- Adjust.

I found the walnut flavor very intense and goes a long way. Therefore I adjusted the recipe and used more vinegar and less oil.

I like to add a little bit of garlic to this dressing. It goes well with the full flavor of the walnit oil.
