Recipe Description

This is my favorite salad and it is always a hit when I take it to a gathering. You can use any combination of salad greens that you like; I use whatever I have on hand. I shouldn’t admit it, but I could drink this dressing.

Preparation Instructions

Place nuts in a medium skillet with 2 tablespoons sugar. Cook over medium-high heat until nuts are coated and brown, stirring constantly, about 4 minutes; set aside.

Toss salad greens, apples and cheese.

Combine dressing ingredients in a small jar and shake vigorously (I usually just use the blender). Pour over the salad just before serving.

Sprinkle with sugared nuts.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SUGARED PECANS:
  • ½ cups Pecan Pieces
  • 2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • _____
  • FOR THE SALAD:
  • 6 ounces, weight Baby Spinach
  • 1 head Red Leaf Lettuce, Torn
  • 1 whole Granny Smith Apple, Cored And Very Thinly Sliced
  • 4 ounces, weight Crumbled Feta Or Blue Cheese
  • _____
  • FOR THE DRESSING:
  • ¼ cups Red Onion, Finely Chopped
  • 3 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • 3 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
  • ½ cups Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 1 clove Galic, Minced
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt

Fennel Arugula Salad

by Jessie Jane (Lilyshop) and filed in Green Salads, Salads

I had never had fennel before, but when I tasted this salad I absolutely loved it and over the years I have changed the recipe to include Meyer lemons and truffle cheese. It’s really refreshing. The bitterness of the baby arugula with the tart lemon dressing and the salty Parmesan cheese makes it perfect.
