Walnut Oil Vinegrette

5 min • 4 to 6 servings •
Andrew Sachs
Arugula salad with dried beets, walnut oil, and a balsamic dressing on a white plate with a fork.

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.
