Frozen Date Salad image

Our family spent 15 years in Vermont, which is known for its delicious maple syrup, and that's where I found this recipe. Maine also has beautiful maple trees, so we continue to enjoy this salad made with locally produced syrup. Combined with cream cheese, dates and walnuts, the salad complements many meals.
