What a great idea to roast the walnuts. They were delicious in the salad.

Yes. They hold up nicely to the salad dressing. Also, I find pecans, walnuts, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts make great substitutions for "croutons" in different salads and are actually better for their crunch, flavor, and nutritional benefits too!
