Variations:

  • If desired, toast walnuts by placing in an ovenproof dish and baking at 350 F for 5-10 minutes, until lightly browned and fragrant. Cool before chopping.
  • Shredded carrots, celery, and/or thinly sliced red cabbage are delicious additions.
  • Arugula may be used in place of some or all of the mixed salad greens.
  • For an even simpler dressing, just use seasoned rice vinegar.
  • Freshly ground black pepper may also be added.
