How to Make Candied Walnut Salad
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup (57g) butter (or margarine for a healthier option) and 1/4 cup (50g) packed brown sugar.
- Microwave on high for 30 seconds, or until butter and sugar are completely melted and combined. Stir well.
- Add 1/2 cup (60g) walnuts to the butter-sugar mixture, ensuring all walnuts are evenly coated.
- Spread the walnut mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the walnuts are fragrant and beginning to brown, stirring halfway through.
- While the walnuts bake, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard.
- In a large salad bowl, toss your desired amount of mixed greens with the dressing. (We recommend about 5 cups for four servings).
- Allow the candied walnuts to cool completely for about 10-15 minutes before gently tossing them with the dressed greens.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and healthy Candied Walnut Salad!
