Walnut Lemon Salad Dressing
When I learned this new technique, I knew it needed to be shared. Take a walnut (or pecan) half and rub it on a microplane grater which will produce this fluffy cloud of nut essence and will give the dressing a lovely nut oil flavor. When the nuts reduce to a size too small to risk injury from the grater, put them aside and those small pieces can be tossed in a pan and toasted in a bit of butter and added to the salad. There are endless salad combinations with this dressing
