I don't know about you, but we eat a ton of dinner salads in the summer when fresh fruits and vegetables are abundant. One of our favorite salad ingredients is candied walnuts or pecans. Absolutely delicious and that "something special" that will make your fresh salads stand out from the rest. Excellent on your favorite ice cream, too. =)
