Note
For best texture, ensure the cabbage is completely dry before tossing with walnuts to prevent sogginess.
If you prefer a dressed version, this salad pairs well with a simple apple cider vinegar and olive oil vinaigrette.
Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though the walnuts may soften over time.
Toast the walnuts lightly in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding for a deeper, nuttier flavor.
