3 tablespoons olive oil (4 tbls if not using walnut oil) |
1 tablespoon walnut oil (optional) |

black pepper |
3 cups frisee (chicory) |
3 cups green leaf lettuce |
11 ounces mandarin oranges, drained |
1/2 cup toasted pecan halves |
Directions:
1. Whisk together the shallot, vinegar and oil (s).
2. Season with salt and pepper, set aside.
3. Right before serving, toss with the greens.
