Thanks Chookie - looks like you hit the CTRL-V (Copy) button instead of the Post button after the first lots was done.

Sounds good - so that is probably why you posted it twice ??  ;)

This looks nice Chookie.
I'm thinking it might work well drizzled over a pear & Camembert salad too.

I made half quantity of this sauce for the challenge thinking I'd have it over a piece of plain chicken fillet but changed my mind and had teriyaki chicken so I cooked up 50g pasta, added 2 tbspns of the walnut sauce, 1 tbsp parmesan cheese and 1 tbspn chopped parsley.  I wasn't sure what type of vinegar to use but settled on apple cider vinegar.

It wasn't bad but I can't say I was overly keen on it Chookie, a bit too much oil in it for me I think.  I have all this leftover so will have to put my thinking cap on for ways in which to use it.

Judy,  I really love this sauce.  Maybe it didn't like having the Parmesan added to it.  It is really quite delicate. I am also very fussy about the freshness of the Walnuts.   I also use Apple Cider vinegar in most recipes calling for vinegar.

My walnuts were pretty fresh and I'd put them in the freezer as soon as I bought them.  Maybe if they were roasted their flavour would be more noticeable? I only added the parmesan and parsley to try and mask the oil taste Chookie, it didn't work  ;D
