Is it just me that has been on a salad kick lately? Maybe it’s because it’s 80+ degrees in SoCal despite it being January?!
I love this salad because it’s sweet, tart, crunchy and filling. I’ve been taking salads to work almost daily! (If you don’t believe me, come join me on Instagram!)
It’s so easy to make 5 salads for the week in large mason jars and just grab one in the morning on my way out the door. Plus, after all the paleo chocolate cupakes I ate last month, my body could use a steady supply of clean eats right now!

love candied nuts…and with the creamy avocado, yum!
Looks delish – I presume it is good with any salad greens, spinach, arugala…
Yes! definitely! 🙂
Hey Sylvie, we pinned this and someone pointed out that the images actually shows pecans instead of walnuts. I’m sure it’s equally delicious with either one but just wanted to pass the comment on to you. 🙂
Oh my gosh you are right! I didn’t even notice 🙂 Ha! Time to take a new photo! Thanks for the heads up
This sounds awesome! Thanks for posting this recipe.
So glad you like it Darcie!
