Ingredients
Candied Walnuts
-
1 cup walnut halves
-
4 teaspoons water
-
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
-
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
¼ teaspoon salt
Salad
-
1 large clove garlic, minced
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
2 tablespoons walnut oil
-
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
-
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
-
8 cups baby arugula
-
2 firm ripe red pears, sliced
Directions
-
To prepare walnuts: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a small baking pan with parchment paper; coat with cooking spray.
-
Toss walnuts with water in a bowl. Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon and salt; toss to coat. Transfer to the prepared pan. Bake until the sugar is melted and the nuts are just starting to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Cool in the pan until the sugar hardens, about 10 minutes.
-
To prepare salad: Mash garlic and salt into a paste in a mortar and pestle or with the side of a knife on a cutting board. Transfer to a large bowl and whisk in oil, mustard, vinegar and pepper. Add arugula, pears and the walnuts; toss to coat.
Tips
Make Ahead Tip: Prepare walnuts (Steps 1-2) and let cool completely; store airtight for up to 1 day.
Equipment: Parchment paper
The candied walnuts in this salad are also a great topping for pumpkin pie or oatmeal. If you're making a big batch, be sure to use a larger baking pan so they aren't crowded.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
