Notes
- Tip: Be sure to find ripe berries & produce. This salad is great for seasonal eating when ingredients are at peak harvest and flavor.
- Variations: Add your own favorite additions such as raspberries, blackberries, green onion, other seeds/nuts, avocado, etc.
- Quicker prep: If making the candied walnuts ahead of time, this salad only takes about 10 minutes (or less) to prepare.
