Note

For best texture, add the walnuts immediately before serving to keep them crunchy.

If the fruit is very sweet, you can reduce the amount of raspberry preserves slightly to balance the flavors.

This salad can be prepared up to an hour in advance, but wait to add the walnuts and dressing until ready to serve to prevent the fruit from becoming too soggy.

Substitute pecans or almonds for the walnuts if preferred.
