Candied Nuts Salad

Here's what I had for lunch yesterday. Thought you might like the idea of candied nuts (walnuts here) on top of a salad. This is a very crunchy salad!

I usually add a few other items to this salad, such as a light dressing and maybe some goat cheese, Parmesan, or grilled veggies or chicken. While I'm eating less and less meat & fish these days, I do like to have a bit of diced grilled chicken around in the refrigerator to add as a topping to salads and other quick dishes.

Tip My kids love crumbled bacon and chopped apples on this salad.

Here are some posts with salad dressings you might like:

• Honey mustard
• Citrus
• Lemon mustard
• Asian-inspired
• Creamy mayo-based

On another note, I was recently interviewed by Ann Parkinson of Lovetoknow.com. She asked me some really good questions about my thoughts on gluten and cooking. That was fun! Thanks Ann!
