Ingredients
Candied Walnuts:
- Nonstick vegetable spray
- 6 tablespoons plus 3 more tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons orange-tangerine juice
- 2 cups walnut halves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salad:
- 2 heads butter lettuce, washed and dried
- 2 (8-ounce) cans mandarin orange segments
- 1/2 red onion, very thinly sliced
- 1 cup purchased Asian-style salad dressing (such as miso dressing or ginger dressing)
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Line a large cookie sheet with foil and spray with nonstick spray. In a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, add 6 tablespoons sugar and orange-tangerine juice. Bring to a simmer, and then add walnuts. Cook until sugar is absorbed and mixture starts to caramelize around walnuts, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar. Toss walnuts in cinnamon-sugar. Place walnuts in single layer on prepared cookie sheet. Bake until walnuts appear crystallized and toasted, about 8 minutes. Set aside
Place 4 to 6 dry lettuce leaves on each plate. Randomly place orange segments, onion slices, and walnuts on top of each lettuce bed. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of dressing on top of each salad and serve.

This is a hodgepodge that is not so easy to make. For a simpler, fabulous recipe that is easier to make, try Giada's Orange Vinagrette Salad. Now that is worth having!!!!

Serve the dressing on the side is better. Use whole leaf Boston lettuce is good.

about 5 yrears ago my sons girlfriend, now wife, had a salad w/coated walnuts and I tasted it & I loved it. Was pleased Sandra offered her recipe. I made mine w/SPLENDA the 1st time. My second time Easter I will try sugar to see if it is better or the same.
