In honor of our very first president, let's make this super salad with sweet dark pitted cherries topping it. I cannot tell a lie - George would have loved it!
What You'll Need
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1/2 cup Italian dressing
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 head romaine lettuce, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 (17-ounce) can sweet dark pitted cherries, drained
What to Do
- In a medium saucepan, brown the walnuts in the oil over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the Italian dressing, honey, and maple syrup. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, or until hot.
- Place the lettuce in a large bowl and toss with the dressing. Top with the cherries and serve warm.
Notes
If you don't like cherries, you can use other types of canned fruit like mandarin oranges or even pineapple for a tropical-tasting salad.
