Time 22m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick vegetable spray
6 tablespoons plus 3 more tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons orange-tangerine juice
2 cups walnut halves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
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)

Steps:

  • 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.

I was really looking forward to trying this salad, but I was disappointed. The candied walnuts were too hard and the dressing was too tart.

This salad is a lot of work for what you get. I don't think it's worth the effort.

I'm not sure about the candied walnuts in this salad. I think I would prefer them plain.

This salad is a great make-ahead meal. Simply assemble the salad and dressing ahead of time, and store them separately in the refrigerator. When you're ready to eat, just toss the salad and dressing together.

Candied walnuts?! In a salad?! I was skeptical, but this recipe won me over. The sweet and crunchy walnuts added a delightful dimension to the savory greens and creamy dressing.
