SALMON SALAD WITH GLAZED WALNUTS

Salmon Salad with Glazed Walnuts image

This main-dish salad was inspired by something I ate while on a trip. The glazed walnuts give it something special. I've also topped it with grilled chicken or portobello mushrooms with amazing results. -Joanna Kobernik, Berkley, Michigan
