Yeah, everybody keeps walnut oil in the house, right?
Warm Walnut Spinach Salad

Ronald Peek, a reader from Aurora, Colorado, loves all kinds of spinach salads and dressed this one with honey, mustard, mirin, and walnut oil to create something unique. If you don't have walnut oil, you can substitute another nut oil such, as almond or hazelnut, and switch the chopped nuts to match.
