If you have a Cafe Zupas near you then you may have tried their “Nuts about Berries Salad”. It’s my FAVORITE, but my mom has been making a very similar homemade version for as long as I can remember. The salad starts with a bed of fresh greens. You can really use any type of lettuce you like. I like to mix several different kinds, or use a bag of mixed greens. Load the salad with fresh berries, some chopped onion, candied pecans and a sprinkle of feta cheese, if you like. I just love the fresh berries combined with the crunch of the apple and the tangy and sweet dressing. Also, any salad that has candied pecans in it is always going to be a winner, right?!
Candied nuts, also called caramelized nuts, are one of my favorite toppings on a homemade salad. If you don’t like pecans, you can substitute another type of nut or leave them out. My recipe for candied pecans includes a quick stovetop version that is great for using with salads, or an even tastier baked version. The salad dressing is really simple, and perfectly sweet, and you can adjust it easily to fit your preferred taste. Homemade salad dressings like this will keep well in the fridge for about 2 weeks, so feel free to make the dressing in advance! This salad is absolutely delicious, and it looks just as incredible as it tastes.
