  5. What has caught my attention is pickled walnut. Never tasted it, what is used to pickle walnuts. A warm salad is most welcoming during the cold season, especially when its so flavorful.

  10. Oh my what a lovely salad. I never heard of pickled walnut, is that something new? Also, would the green capsicum not make the salad bitter? Just curious as I tend not to use the green ones raw.
