• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

1. First whisk the walnut oil, cider vinegar, sugar and salt in a small bowl until the sugar has dissolved, and set aside at room temperature.
2. Prepare salad ingredients, and toss together in a salad bowl.
3. Toss with dressing to serve.
4. (If it has to stand awhile, cover with platic wrap and refrigerate. For taking on a picnic or to-go, keep in a plastic container with tight-fitting lid).
5. *Toasted walnuts: you can use fresh walnuts, but toasting brings out their fragrance. Heat oven to 350 degF/180 degC, spread walnuts on a cookie tin, and bake for 10 minutes.
