Mixed Berry Salad with Cinnamon Walnuts
From: FAVES by Melissa Chappell
1 1/3 Cups walnuts (could use pecans or almonds)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 TBS agave (raw or use honey)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 LB Spring Mix
2 Cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
One batch lime agave dressing (use lemon instead of lime..I'll post dressing recipe below)
Mix the walnuts, cinnamon, agave and salt in a bowl until the walnuts are sticky and coated with the cinnamon and agave. Set aside. Toss the spring mix in a big bowl with the mixed berries and half of the lime (lemon) agave dressing. If you prefer a wetter, more dressed salad, feel free to use more dressing. When everything is well coated, portion your salad out onto salad plates and top with the cinnamon walnuts.
Lemon (or Lime) Agave Dressing
1/2 Cups lemon juice (or lime)
1/2 cup olive oil
3-4 TBS agave
1/2 tsp salt
Whisk all ingredients together and serve. This is especially good over green salads with fruit in them. For a more exotic dressing, you may add 1-3 drops lavender essential oil.
