Date Summer Salad Recipe

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup walnuts
  • 1/3 cup pecans
  • 1 (10 ounce) bag mixed salad greens
  • 2 cups strawberries, halved
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 4 dates, pitted and chopped
  • 1/4 cup raspberry vinaigrette dressing, or more to taste
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Whisk brown sugar and water together in a small saucepan; bring to a boil and cook until reduced to a caramel syrup, 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Arrange walnuts and pecans on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Toast nuts in the preheated oven until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Pour caramel syrup over nuts; toss to coat. Bake until nuts are lightly browned and syrup has thickened, 8 to 10 more minutes. Let cool on baking sheet.
  5. Mix salad greens, strawberries, blackberries, blue cheese, cranberries, dates, and vinaigrette dressing; toss to coat. Sprinkle candied nuts over salad.
