Mixed with a little cream and medium dry sherry, it gives class to a piece of freshly poached salmon or chicken breast. A few toasted walnuts add texture and decoration. A mix of walnut oil, sherry vinegar, a touch of garlic, prepared mustard, and salt makes an excellent dressing for an endive and radicchio salad. Top the salad with a sprinkle of crumbled blue cheese. And for an entree, use walnut oil in fresh vegetable pasta sauces. Toss steamed fresh garden spinach and chopped shallots with a little walnut oil to put over pasta for the perfect Sunday night supper.
