Walnuts are one of the richest plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids available. A handful of walnuts provides as much omega-3 as a 75 g (3 oz) portion of salmon. Walnut oil is also rich in omega-3.

Instructions

1.	Heat the walnuts in a dry pan over a medium heat for 1-2 minutes until slightly toasted.
2.	Whisk together the olive vinaigrette and olives in a small bowl.
3.	Mix together the chickpeas, pepper, carrot and onion in a medium bowl. Toss with 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette.
4.	Toss the spinach and other salad leaves with the remaining vinaigrette. Transfer to a large serving bowl, top with the vegetable mixture and sprinkle with walnuts.
