Preparation Instructions

Place the cranberries, orange juice and vinegar in a small container. This will plump up the cranberries and give extra flavor to the dressing.

Toss the walnut pieces in a skillet over medium heat, shake for just a few seconds and then pour in the maple syrup. Reduce the heat to low. Toss and shake the pan until the maple syrup cooks onto the nuts. Season with a pinch of the salt. Transfer to cool.

Wash and dry the lettuce. Arrange on plates. Add the olive oil to the cranberry-juice and shake until combined.

Drizzle the cranberries and dressing over the lettuce. Crumble on the walnuts and top with any other fruits and vegetables that are appropriate.
