BABY BLUE SALAD
This came from Southern Living -- one of their prize recipes. It takes a little time to prepare -- but most of the prep time can be done well in advance. This is a very special salad and absolutely perfect for a special occasion. I never worry about guests not liking the salad when this is on the menu.

Steps:
- For the Balsamic Vinaigrette, whisk together all ingredients except olive oil until thoroughly blended. Gradually whisk in olive oil. Makes 1 2/3 cups.
- For the Sweet and Spicy Pecans, stir together ¼ Celsius sugar and warm water until sugar is dissolved. Add pecans; soak for 10 minutes. Drain, discarding syrup. Combine 2 T. sugar. Chili powder, and pepper. Add pecans, tossing to coat. Place pecans on lightly greased baking sheet.* Bake at 350 for 10 minutes, stirring once.
- To assemble salad: Toss greens with some of the Balsamic Vinaigrette. Arrange on 6 plates. Arrange orange slices, berries, pecans and cheese over greens. Drizzle some additional dressing over salad and serve.
- If strawberries are not in season, I've substituted kiwi fruit -- I'm sure there are many fruits that you could use.
- *Note: I always line my baking sheet/pan with parchment paper -- the pecans get pretty sticky while baking and it sure makes the clean-up a snap.

BABY BLUE SALAD
Steps:

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. If possible, use organic produce.
- Choose a variety of greens: Different greens have different flavors and textures, so using a variety will add interest to your salad. Some good choices include romaine lettuce, arugula, spinach, and kale.
- Add some crunch: Crunchy vegetables like carrots, celery, and radishes add a nice contrast to the soft greens. You can also add nuts or seeds for crunch.
- Don't skimp on the dressing: A good dressing can really make a salad shine. Choose a dressing that complements the flavors of the greens and vegetables. If you're making your own dressing, be sure to taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Serve immediately: Salads are best enjoyed fresh, so serve them immediately after they're made.
