How to Make Walnut Pecorino And Garlic Salad

  1. Finely mince 4 cloves of garlic.
  2. In a large ceramic or glass bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Add 1 cup of walnuts (roughly chopped), 1 cup of crumbled Pecorino Romano cheese, and the minced garlic to the bowl.
  4. Gently toss all ingredients to combine thoroughly, ensuring the walnuts and cheese are evenly coated in the dressing.
  5. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor development. The longer it marinates, the more the flavors meld.
  6. Before serving, give the salad another gentle toss. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
