Salted Caramel Walnut and Pomegranate Winter Salad.

Salted Caramel Walnut and Pomegranate Winter Salad.

First prize is purchasing a box of The Walnut Pantry's delicious Salted Caramel Walnuts. They’re every bit as addictive as they sound. Subtly sweet with a hint of salt, they're the perfect addition to any dish. Sprinkle with a dash of cayenne pepper to give them a little zing and spice, sealing the deal on flavour.

The dressing is my favourite, made with just three simple ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and fig preserves. It strikes the perfect balance of savory, tangy, and sweet. I love tossing this simple winter salad with this vinaigrette for a flawless finish, making every bite even more delicious.
