How to Make Mcdonald's Candied Walnut Fruit Salad By Todd Wilbur

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss together the chopped fruits: 2 cups strawberries (sliced), 1 cup blueberries, 1 cup raspberries, and 1 orange (peeled and segmented).
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup walnut halves with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Spread the walnut mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the walnuts are golden brown and candied.
  6. Let the candied walnuts cool completely.
  7. Once the walnuts are cool, add them to the fruit mixture and gently toss to combine.
  8. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with a sprig of mint (optional).
