Refrigerate for at least 1 1/2 hours, or ideally up to 3 1/2 hours, until the salad is completely firm and set. (90-210 minutes)
08 Step

1 mins
To unmold, briefly dip the mold in a sink filled with hot (but not scalding) water for about 10-15 seconds to loosen the edges. (1 minute)
09 Step
Recipe View
2 mins
Remove the mold from the water, place a serving plate on top, and carefully invert to release the salad. If it doesn't release immediately, repeat the hot water dip for a few more seconds. (2 minutes)
For a more intense lime flavor, add a teaspoon of lime zest to the boiling water.
Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a pleasant crunch. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes.
If you don't have a mold, a glass bowl works just as well. Line it with plastic wrap for easier removal.
For a festive presentation, garnish with fresh grapes or lime wedges.
