In Washington Court House, Ohio, Clara Coulston stirs sweetened walnuts into this colorful salad that includes oranges, grapes and strawberries. It's easy to remove the skin from the kiwifruit with a vegetable peeler, she suggests. I also use a mango instead of a peach when available. Ingredients:
1/2 cup walnut halves |
1 tablespoon water |
1 tablespoon sugar |
2 medium navel oranges, peeled and sectioned |
2 cups seedless red grapes |
2 medium kiwifruit, peeled and chopped |
1 medium peach, chopped or 3/4 cup frozen sliced peaches, thawed and chopped |
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries |
1-1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine walnuts and water; drain. Toss walnuts with sugar. Spread in a single layer on a greased foil-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 5-6 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on pan, stirring occasionally.
2. In a large salad bowl, combine the oranges, grapes, kiwi, peach and strawberries. Sprinkle with sugared walnuts; toss lightly. Sprinkle with orange peel if desired. Yield: 4-6 servings.
