Serve over a heap of torn romaine lettuce or salad greens of your choice.

This recipe seems high in fat, but the fat comes from unsaturated (good fat). If you want to reduce the fat content further you could use a low or no-fat mayo and only 1 oz mixed nuts.

You could also use all walnuts in place of the mixed nuts (slightly healthier), I just had mixed nuts in the cupboard, so that is what I used.

This turned out to be really tasty.
