Directions
Tear washed romaine and iceberg into salad size pieces slice strawberries into quarters. Glaze Nature's Eats Chopped Walnuts by placing ¾ cup sugar, 2 cups walnuts, and ½ cup water in microwave-safe glass measuring cup. Cook on high in microwave for approx 8 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes.
Once the walnuts are coated and sugar is caramelized, remove from microwave, spread on baking sheet to cool. Once cool, break up nuts. Use as a topper on salad, will have leftovers for ice cream!
