First candied walnuts, toss the walnuts in the egg white and then in the spices, sprinkle out on baking paper on a tray and place in a pre-heated oven 160 degrees for 15 minutes, until slightly toasted.

 

Toss the apple in the lemon juice, this is to stop the oxidation and de-colouration, place in a large mixing bowl the sliced apple, fennel, celery, grapes and mixed salad leaves.  Mix the mayo with a little of the lemon juice and gently whisk in the walnut oil, toss in the salad and mix gently but thorough.

 

Place your salad on your plate or in a bowl and sprinkle of the halved candied walnuts and enjoy.
