Grilled Chicken Salad with Candied Walnuts
My husband is a huge nut person. He loves any variation of nuts. About a year ago I tired Santé Nuts for the first time. My favorite thing about this company is that they offer a variety of nuts and candied nuts. I always love adding candied nuts to my salad. I feel like there is hardly any brands that offer candied nuts. When I run out of Santé Nuts I try to make my own and they are fine but they are never perfect. Some are too sweet, some get a little burnt, and some aren’t sweet enough. So with Santé Nuts candied nuts they are made to perfection! Perfect to snack on or to create recipes with! If you have not tried them you must! And lucky enough for you I am giving away 2 bags of Santé Candied Walnuts so that you can make this recipe!
