I ordered the black walnuts and the soaking juice from Amazon. I forgot to soak the walnuts overnight so they soaked several hours and that was plenty of time to absorb the flavor. I used fresh mozzarella and a combo of meats. I roasted my own red peppers. This salad was a hit at Christmas Eve dinner. Since the walnuts are flavored there is no need for a dressing which keeps the salad staying fresh. If someone requests that you bring an antipasto salad to pot luck dinner this is a hit.
