Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. (30+ minutes)
For a variation, try adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the mayonnaise dressing for a tangy kick.
To toast the walnuts, spread them on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
If you don't have golden raisins, regular raisins will work just as well.
For a lower-fat option, substitute half of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
