Bright, fresh with a peppery twist best describes this salad. Even in the dead of winter this salad can bring the taste of summer rushing back. This recipe really showcases the sweet, crunchy goodness of walnuts.

One of our favorite nut butters is pecan butter. The pecans create an almost caramel-flavored Amazing stuff, and so silky. Mixed it with a little chocolate, coffee and crunchy pecans for a sinfully decadent combination.
