💡 What's interesting

Culturally, it's a great example of a 'fusion' salad that marries the classic European use of nuts and fruit with contemporary health-conscious eating trends. Nutritionally, the pairing is unique because the healthy fats in walnuts help your body absorb the fat-soluble antioxidants from the grapes and greens.
