Recipe by Rhoda Boone This fresh salad was inspired by the elements of a Passover Seder plate.

Ingredients

1/2 cup walnuts
1/4 cup neutral vegetable oil, such as grapeseed, divided
4 ounces lamb sausage in casing, sliced into 1/4"-thick coins
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons honey
1/4 teaspoon (or more) kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon (or more) freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, divided
1 romaine heart (about 8 ounces), coarsely chopped
1/2 medium apple, such as Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji, thinly sliced
2 hard-boiled eggs, quartered

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Toast walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 8 –10 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop.
Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Cook sausage, turning occasionally, until browned on both sides, 3 –5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Coarsely chop 2 Tbsp. parsley and stir into dressing. Toss romaine, apple, sausage, and remaining parsley in a large serving bowl. Add two-thirds of the dressing and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper if necessary. Top with walnuts and eggs; drizzle with remaining dressing.
