Ingredients
  

Salad:

  • Mixed Greens
  • Strawberries sliced
  • Candied Pecans
  • GF Goat Cheese crumbled

Candied Pecans:

  • 1 1/2 cups whole pecans
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Dressing:

  • 3 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 3 Tbsp GF balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tsp GF Dijon or regular mustard

Instructions
 

  • For the pecans: Beat together the egg white and brown sugar. Pour in the pecans and then stir until the nuts are completely coated. Transfer the pecans to a silicone or parchment lined baking sheet, spreading out to an even layer so they are not touching, then bake at 300°F for 30 minutes. Allow to cool before adding to salad.
  • For the dressing: Whisk all ingredients together, then let sit for at least 20 minutes so the brown sugar dissolves.
  • To serve, toss mixed greens with dressing and plate. Top each plate with some sliced strawberries, goat cheese and some pecans.
