Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons raspberry vinegar
1 shallot
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup orange juice
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 lb pecans
1 (8 ounce) bag mixed greens
4 ounces of crumbled blue cheese

Steps:

  • I have a small rocket blender so I just throw all the ingredients for the dressing in here and let it mince my shallots along with it. Stick in to the frig until ready to serve.
  • The Pecans are the most time consuming but I like to double this and my family will just snack on them too.
  • Put all the ingredients into a pot except the pecans.
  • Once everything is melted and mixed together pour in to a big bowl with the pecans. Place the coated place on a piece of wax paper on a cookie sheet. Roast pecans at 250 for 1 hours
  • Let them cool, but make sure you don't let them completly cool before breaking up. They will be sticky untill completly cool and will clump together.
  • Just throw on top of your mixed greens and blue/fetta cheese. Add your dressing and enjoy.
  • This is a great salad for parties. I never know what veggies people like and the pecans are always a hit. I will throw them on any salad to add a spicey sweet and crunch.
  • I am also going to make the pecans as gifts for my neighbors b/c the liked them so much.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe, sweet apples and butternut squash.
  • Tossing the squash and apples with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting helps them caramelize and brown.
  • Be sure to roast the squash and apples until they are tender-crisp, about 20 minutes.
  • While the squash and apples are roasting, prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

  • Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
