Chef's Tips
For a more intense walnut flavor, lightly toast the walnuts in a dry skillet before chopping.
Prepare the vinaigrette ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Whisk again before using.
Add a sprinkle of crumbled blue cheese or goat cheese for a tangier flavor profile.

Easy"Eton Mess is a classic British dessert that embodies the 'light and fresh' mood. The combination of meringue, berries, and whipped cream offers a delightful sweetness and textural contrast. The addition of lemon curd brightens the dessert and provides a zesty counterpoint to the savory flavors of the main course, cleansing the palate."
