⅛ tspcayenne pepper

1 TbsSpicy brown mustard

Instructions

Step 1

Walnuts -melt butter in a small pan on a low flame, add the walnuts to coat in the butter then add the sugar…once everything is coated set to the side to let cool. Feel free to add more sugar or butter. I like them extra sweet and coated

Step 2

Thinly slice the watermelon radishes. A mandolin works best. Drain the mandarin oranges and reserve 1/4 cup of the juice for the dressing

Step 3

Dressing - juice of 1 lemon, mandarin orange juice (should be about 1/4 cup of each. Lemon zest, honey, mustard, pinch of salt, cayenne pepper. Add olive oil to your liking and diced shallots

Step 4

Dice avocados and toss with some lemon juice, add the salad to a bowl and toss with 1/2 the ingredients. Then top with the remaining ingredients. **You can place the dressing at the bottom of the bowl and toss when you’re ready to serve or prepare in a mason jar and pour on top which is perfect for traveling.
