We had some friends over for dinner tonight, and I created this salad. So pretty!
Ingredients:
Raw Baby Spinach Leaves
3 Pears
Blue Cheese Crumbles
Pecan Halves
2 Tbls Sugar
2 Tbls Water
Dressing:
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
1. Candy the Pecans: Dissolve 2 Tbls sugar in 2 Tbls water. Add 1/4 cup pecan halves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the liquid is almost gone and is thick and sticky like syrup. Be sure to watch this closely, as it is very easy to burn this. Place pecans in a single layer on parchment paper to dry.
2. place spinach (as much as you like) in a bowl. Add pears, blue cheese crumbles, and pecans. All of the amounts of these things should be to your liking.
3. place all dressing ingredients in a bowl. Wisk together with a fork or wire wisk. Pour over salad, Mix and serve.
