Make the candied nuts. Then make the strawberry balsamic dressing.
Prepare your salad: Add mixed greens to a plate/bowl. Remove stems from strawberries and slice. Peel clementine and break into single segments. Top salad greens with strawberries, blueberries, and clementine.
Add candied walnuts, and top with desired amount of dressing.
If saving leftovers or preparing for later, store salad and dressing separately in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
Tip: Be sure to find ripe berries & produce. This salad is great for seasonal eating when ingredients are at peak harvest and flavor.
Variations: Add your own favorite additions such as raspberries, blackberries, green onion, other seeds/nuts, avocado, etc.
Quicker prep: If making the candied walnuts ahead of time, this salad only takes about 10 minutes (or less) to prepare.
