Flaxseed oil is high in heart-healthy omega-3 fats. Better yet, its rich, nutty taste brings out the sweet, tart flavor of apples and cranberries.

Ingredients

1/2 cup walnuts
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons flaxseed oil
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
Coarse salt and pepper, to taste

2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
3 cups thickly shredded (12 ounces) skinless rotisserie chicken (from a small rotisserie chicken)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Toast the walnuts until crisp and fragrant, about 10 minutes. When cool enough to handle, chop coarsely; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, flaxseed oil, vinegar, honey, and 2 tablespoons water; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add apples, dried cranberries, celery, onion, and chicken; toss to combine. Divide among 4 plates; top with walnuts.
