This salad is so major yummy! I could eat my weight it in I often say! You may feel like making this up for a side or often times I just have it for lunch!
Spiced Pecans:
1/4 cup Sugar
1 cup warm water
1 cup pecans
soak for 10 minutes
Drain and Discard SyrupCombine:
2 T Sugar
1 T Chili Powder
1/8 t. ground red pepper
toss with nuts.
Bake 30 minutes at 350- turning very often.
Serve with Green leaf Lettuce or your choice of baby greens, thinly sliced red onions (optional), sliced strawberries, and balsamic vinaigrette.
Balsamic Vinaigrette:
1 pkg of Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix
Follow Pkg instructions replacing the regular vinegar for balsamic.
Then add at least 1/4 cup of honey and vigorously shake to combine!
I love this type of salad, but trying to be careful with any excess sugar and sodium( which is sky-high in packaged dressing powders). I use sliced almonds in mine. Bet yours tastes better though!
