Instructions

Prepare Candied Walnuts. In your smallest saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil then add walnuts. Simmer on medium heat, spooning liquid over walnuts occasionally until liquid has thickened and evaporated. Remove the walnuts from the pan, place on parchment paper and separate since they are very sticky. Set aside to dry.
Prepare Dressing. In a bowl combine all dressing ingredients and whisk to emulsify.
Divide kale between four salad bowls. Toss with dressing then top with beets, feta and candied walnuts.
Enjoy!
