Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tbsp orange juice
1 cup walnut halves
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 head butter lettuce, washed and dried
6 oz canned mandarin orange segments
1/4 medium red onion, very thinly sliced
1/2 cup salad dressing (a raspberry walnut vinaigrette or similar dressing is recommended)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°.
Line a sheet pan with Silpat (or with aluminum foil, sprayed with non-stick spray).
In a 10 skillet over medium heat, add 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons of orange juice (or tangerine juice- or a combination).
Bring to a simmer, then add the walnuts.
Cook until sugar is absorbed and mixture starts to caramelize around walnuts, stirring constantly- about 2 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar.
Toss the walnuts in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Place walnuts in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan.
Bake until walnuts appear crystallized and toasted (approximately 8 or more minutes).
Set aside.
Place 4 to 6 dry butter lettuce leaves on each plate.
Randomly place orange segments, onion slices and walnuts on top of each lettuce bed.
Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of dressing on top of each salad and serve.
(We prefer a Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette).
Enjoy!
