    Maple Glazed Walnuts with Smoked Sea Salt
    These Maple Glazed Walnuts are so simple to make! They'll take a salad from mundane to magnificent in 3 short minutes.

    I add them to this Persimmon Pomegranate Salad with Maple Walnuts along with pomegranate arils, and to this Roasted Sweet Potato Spinach Salad with Maple Walnuts and Bacon , but they will dress up any salad, adding that sought-after crunch.

    How to make Maple Glazed Walnuts

    1. Heat a skillet over medium heat.
    2. Add walnuts and maple syrup to the skillet and heat, watching carefully and swirling the pan occasionally.
    3. Once the nuts begin to brown and the syrup is caramelized, remove to a clean plate or a sheet of parchment paper.
    4. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt or with smoked sea salt.
    5. Separate and let cool completely.

    Walnuts are heart-healthy!

    Just one-quarter cup of walnuts will provide over 100 percent of the daily recommended value of plant-based omega-3 fats. Eating walnuts regularly may also help reduce the risk of prostate and breast cancer and may benefit those with heart disease. Walnuts also contain powerful anti-oxidants, making them a superfood.

    Toss a few on your next salad. Here's to your health!
