Nutty mountain: The holiday salad sensation with walnuts

Continuing with unique holiday salads, I'd like to recommend a dish called Nutty Mountain. You can probably guess what the star ingredient is. But what complements it? First and foremost, potatoes. This will be this year's hit!

Nuts have long been an essential ingredient in my kitchen. I adore them for their flavor, appearance, texture, and health benefits. I often use nuts in cakes, coatings, and, of course, salads. They pair perfectly with salads, as confirmed by a recipe I recently received from a neighbor. Interestingly, it supposedly comes from Turkey. I decided to adopt this recipe for the upcoming Christmas holidays.

To create Nutty Mountain, besides the walnuts themselves, you'll only need a few more ingredients: potatoes, eggs, and apples. Additionally, you'll need mayonnaise, dill, and wine. You're sure to be pleased with the result, and your guests will be delighted. Surprise them at Christmas with Nutty Mountain and enjoy their reactions. It will be sheer pleasure!
