Refreshing. Crisp. Light. A delightfully easy (Karl vetoed the word lazy) side!

1/3 cup walnut halves, toasted in the oven at 350ºF for 8 min.

1/3 cup vegan feta

1/4 cup chopped, fresh parsley

1/3 cup balsamic glaze

Set iceberg wedges on 4 plates.

Sprinkle with the toasted walnut halves. Crumble the feta over top. Scatter with the chopped, fresh parsley. Then drizzle with the balsamic glaze.

Serves 4.
