This salad is simple, bright and fresh tasting. It makes an especially refreshing autumn and winter salad, and is super quick to prepare. Walnuts are unique among nuts because they are the only nut to contain large amounts of alpha-linolenic acid, one of the two major types of omega-3 fatty acids. There are even studies showing that regular walnut consumption is associated with lowering bad cholesterol, raising good cholesterol and lowering risk for heart disease. Better brain and a perfect fall-winter salad? Life is good!
