Walnut Dressing Recipe
I use best-quality walnut oils found in upscale markets and kitchen supply stores for this dressing. They pack an intense nutty flavor not found in the pale, bland supermarket varities.
Ingredients
| 1/4 | cup | balsamic vinegar |
| 1 | teaspoon | Dijon mustard |
| 1 | teaspoon | crushed garlic |
| 1 | cup | walnut oil* |
| 1/2 | teaspoon | dried red chili flakes |
| 1/2 | teaspoon | salt |
| 1/4 | teaspoon | freshly ground black pepper |
| *Store all opened bottles of nut oils in the refrigerator or they will go rancid quickly. |
Directions
1. Combine the vinegar, mustard, and garlic in a small mixing bowl.
2. Add the oil in a thin, steady stream while whiking the mixture vigorously.
3. Add the chili, salt, and pepper and whisk.
4. Refrigerate several hours so that the flavors meld.
Preparation Time:
5 minutes, plus several hours down time.
