Honey Walnut Salad with Feta and Raisins

This honey walnut salad is one of my favorite salads to make because of its combo of tangy and sweet flavors.  Eat this when you want to have a complete meal that will give you lots of energy or as a side dish packed with vital nutrients.  The roasted honey walnuts give this salad an amazing crunch.

It is perfect for lunch or as a side for a simple meat, chicken, fish or bean meal.  At lunch time I will have a slice of bread with it.  It also goes great with soups such as:

Tuscan White Bean Soup with Sausage and Kale

Zucchini Basil Soup with Lemon

Chicken Leek Soup with White Wine

Lentil Soup with Olive Oil and Orange

Greek White Bean Soup with Orange Slices and Olive Oil.
