*I like to do the candied walnuts which I learned from my sister-in-law, Jeannie. Put about a cup of walnuts in a non-teflon pan. Add about a 1/4 cup or less of sugar. Turn on medium heat and stir continuously until walnuts are candy coated with melted sugar. Remove to wax paper to cool and then sprinkle on salad.

We have found that Creamy Poppy Seed dressing also goes well on this is you don't have time to make the dressing!

Enjoy!
