With New Year’s resolutions starting this week I’m sure a lot of salads are on the menu.  Nuts are one of my favorite toppings to add to salad. If I’m lazy I just add roasted peanuts but I prefer toasted or glazed so I’ll often put forth the 10 minutes to prepare a cup of nuts for the week to add to my salads.  It’ definitely worth it!Honey Glazed Walnuts are the perfect sweet and crunchy addition to any salad.

It only takes 4 ingredients and a skillet to whip up these addicting sweet and crunchy Honey Glazed Walnuts.  These are especially perfect for those who are trying to limit their refined sugar intake.

Try these in this Roasted Butternut Squash Salad and this Blackened Salmon Salad… or just snack on them (because you won’t be able to help yourself).

  6. I added a tiny bit of bit of kosher salt to give the taste sweet and salty., just before the cooling off time. Wonderful flavour.

  7. Quick and yummy! I used margarine and it worked very well. And I added these to a warm, quinoa breakfast bowl–cooked with soy milk like oats, and topped with strawberries. So, this recipe made a great addition! Thank you!

  9. This is so simple, thank you. I love butter and anything sweet! I plan to try this and try substituting pure maple syrup for the honey.

  11. I followed the recipe to the letter and it came out very good. The only thing is I was not able to help myself and kept on snacking on them. Thank you. This is the recipe that came close to the glazed walnuts that I have eaten in restaurants.
