1 cup walnut halves
1 tablespoon grapeseed or vegetable oil
2 teaspoons sugar
Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper

    Step 5

    Place carrots in a colander set in a bowl of ice water. Let sit until carrots start to curl, about 2 minutes. Lift colander from water and drain carrots well; pat dry.

    Step 6

    Combine carrots, radishes, scallions, and dressing in a large bowl and toss to coat. Divide among plates; sprinkle with walnuts.
