It's delicious and easy to make. The pecans are hard to resist on their own and would make a great snack. You can use more or less balsamic vinaigrette to suit your taste - I like less. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups pecan halves |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 tablespoon creole seasoning |
2 (5 ounce) packages mixed salad greens |
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained |
1 pint strawberry, quartered |
1/2 cup balsamic vinaigrette |
1 (4 ounce) package crumbled blue cheese |
Directions:
1. Place pecans on baking sheet (I covered the sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up). Coat pecans with cooking spray.
2. Combine sugar and Creole seasoning and sprinkle over pecans, tossing gently.
3. Bake at 350ยบ for 15 minutes or until pecans are golden brown, stirring once. Cool thoroughly.
4. Gently toss together greens, mandarin oranges, strawberries, balsamic vinaigrette, and crumbled blue cheese and top with pecans.
