Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 egg white
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
4 tablespoons melted butter
2 cups pecan halves (1/2 pound)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon sherry wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 cups arugula
6 cups mixed salad greens (radicchio, endive, escarole)

Steps:

  • PECANS.
  • Preheat the oven to 325. Butter a shallow 10 by 15 inch jelly roll pan.
  • Beat the egg white until stiff. Mix the cinnamon and salt into the sugar. Keeping the beater running, add the sugar mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Fold in the melted butter and the pecans.
  • Spread the pecan mixture in the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven. Using a spatula, carefully flip the pecan mixture one small section at a time. When all the pecans have been turned over, return the pan to the oven for an additional 15 minutes. Watch them carefully-do not allow them to burn.
  • Cool the pecans on paper towels.
  • (Only one cup of pecans is used in the preparation of the salad. The other cup can be eaten as a snack or frozen in a zippered plastic bag. These pecans also make a wonderful holiday gift).
  • SHERRY VINAIGRETTE.
  • Whisk together the mustard, sugar and vinegar. Whisking constantly, dribble in the olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • SALAD.
  • Wash, dry and trim the arugala and other greens. Tear them into large bite size pieces. Just before serving, toss with the vinaigrette. Sprinkle 1 cup of the pecans over the top and toss again. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect meringue, whip the egg whites until they are stiff peaks but not dry. If you over-whip them, they will become grainy and difficult to fold into the other ingredients.
  • When baking the pecans, keep a close eye on them to prevent them from burning. They should be golden brown and fragrant.
  • For the vinaigrette, use a good quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar. You can also add a touch of honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
  • When assembling the salad, start with a layer of greens and then top with the pecans, fruit, and cheese. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and garnish with the meringue.
  • This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The meringue will soften over time, so don't make it too far in advance.

Conclusion:

This exhibition salad with meringue baked pecans is a showstopper that is sure to impress your guests. It is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any special occasion. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at your table.
