Candied Walnut Salad
"Originally from one of the American Diabetes Association cookbooks, I made changes to make it tastier. Deliciously tangy with crunchy sweetness throughout! For a healthier version, use margerine instead of butter and only 1/4 cup walnuts. Also, split the salad into 4 servings."

A lovely salad that I enjoye along with cherry tomatoes. I baked the nuts for 15 minutes and some of it burned but otherwise this was really good. So be sure to keep an eye on the walnuts. Next time I will bake for 8-10 minutes and check them. Thank you! Made for Pick a Chef!

I've been married since 2004. My husband and I didn't really know too much about cooking. The first year we were married we ordered out a lot and spent a lot of money! I decided that I would learn how to cook. I've been having so much fun learning new recipes and experimenting with different flavors. The chefs at recipezaar are so great, everyone has really helped me out! So far, my husband and family have loved what I've learned and made. I'm really loving this!
