Candied Walnut Salad created by Sharon123

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!
