Walnut Salad Dressing
Rich, nutty, and a little funky—this walnut salad dressing combines toasted walnuts, anchovies, honey, and lemon for the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- ½ C walnuts ~56g, toasted and finely chopped
- ¼ C olive oil
- 1 tsp honey
- ½ lemon juiced
- 2 anchovies finely minced into a paste
- 1 garlic clove grated or finely minced
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 10–15 minutes, until fragrant and deep golden brown. Let them cool before finely chopping.
- In a bowl, whisk together the minced anchovies, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Stir in the olive oil and chopped walnuts. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.
Notes
The dressing will naturally separate as it sits—stir before using.
For a smooth, creamy version, blend all ingredients together instead of mixing by hand. The chunky version adds lots of texture, but both are absolutely delicious!
