Walnut Oil Vinegrette

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.

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

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