Method

Gather and prepare your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 150°C/130°C fan.

Place the walnuts onto a baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes, until darkened and fragrant. Remove and allow to cool before roughly chopping.

Place all ingredients for the vinaigrette into a bowl. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper and whisk to combine.
