Ingredients

Candied Walnuts

  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar white sugar can also be used

Salad

  • 1/2 cup strawberries halved
  • 1 cup mixed greens
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper diced
  • 1/4 cup low fat feta cheese crumbled

Balsamic Dressing

  • 1 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1-2 tsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp olive oil

Instructions

Candied Walnuts

  • Add your sugar and butter to a pan and let it melt.
  • Once your sugar mix is starting to melt, add your walnuts and toast them lightly, making sure the syrup covers them well.
  • Take off the heat and transfer to parchment paper. Let cool completely and break into small pieces when ready to use.

Salad

  • Add all the ingredients in a large bowl and toss well. Make sure your mixed greens aren't too wet or the salad will become soggy. Pat dry with a paper towel if they're still damp.

Dressing

  • Mix your ingredients together in a small bowl and whisk together so there are no lumps of mustard or honey.
  • Adjust flavor based on taste.
  • Drizzle the dressing over salad. Just enough to lightly coat the leaves. Dont overdo it.
