Warm gnocchi salad with walnuts

Naomie, foodie friend and colleague, came across this recipe in a French magazine. I was bemused by the eclectic mix of ingredients. So often with recipes you can pinpoint its origin by what’s in it, but not this one. Both fascinated, we made it over and over until we had adapted it to combine our own favourite ingredient list. The crunch of the walnuts and saltiness of the olives work really well with the soft gnocchi.
