Christmas Salad

This Christmas salad recipe came from my dear friend, Jackie, in Ohio.  She brought it to our recipe club Christmas dinner a few years back.  It is simple, elegant and so delicious!!  It looks beautiful on the table this time of year.  Enjoy~

Christmas Salad

Ingredients:
1 pint fresh red raspberries
1 bag organic baby spinach, washed at patted dry
1/2 cup glazed walnuts (you can use plain, toasted walnuts)
1/2 bottle of Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette Salad dressing (such as Newman’s Own)

Directions:
Wash raspberries and pat dry.  Toss all ingredients together and mix well.  Serve immediately.  Serves 4-6 people. 

I am also sharing a recipe for homemade glazed walnuts.  You can do this with pecans, too.  In a large microwave safe bowl mix 2 cups chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup water and 3/4 cups sugar.  Microwave for 3 minutes, stir and then microwave for an additional 3-5 minutes (depending on the wattage of your microwave oven.  Nuts should be covered with a caramelized mixture, but check often so they don’t burn.  Spread on a parchment lined cookie sheet to harden.  Store in an airtight container.

I hope your holidays are filled with blessings and joy!!
