For Christmas I treated myself to a can of walnut oil (hazelnut oil, too, but haven't tried that yet.)
On Christmas Day we tried a simple vinagrette from the La Tourangelle website (www.latourangelle.com):
Tarragon Walnut Vinagrette
Mix 1/4 c. shallots (we used scallions)
3 T. white wine vinegar
4 T. chopped fresh tarragon (we used 2 T. dried)
1 t. dijon mustard
7 T. walnut oil
salt and pepper
This was a dressing much better on salad than with bread, although Rebecca thought the tarragon taste was too much. I thought it was very good. The walnut oil has a wonderful scent, and although the tarragon scent and taste were very strong, you could still taste the nutty flavor of the oil.
