I made these easy honey roasted walnuts to use a crunchy topping for this spinach raspberry salad. I was looking for something slightly different than the standard candied walnuts so I used honey and some chili powder. These homemade roasted walnuts are also great in other salads or simply served as a snack.

I had this salad in Seattle about 15 years ago and have never forgotten how much I enjoyed it.

April 9, 2010 at 11:17 amGreat recipe! Sweet, with just a pinch of salt and an undertone of smoky chili powder. Great as a snack or an addition to almost any salad.
This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thanks!
