My new go-to side for something new and fresh. I've made it without the Walnuts, still good. Halved recipe successfully, yum. Served a scoop on butter lettuce for Easter dinner salad. Instead of zest, I just seed and squeeze 1/2 of a Meyers Lemon into mix, remove fiber from skin and finely dice peel before adding to dish. I used Tropical Fruit Trail Mix with dates, raisins, dried mango, banana, coconut flakes, pineapple, etc.
