Ingredients

  • FOR THE VINAIGRETTE:
  • 1/2 cups Vegetable Oil
  • 6 whole Raspberries (Fresh Or Frozen)
  • 3 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Raspberry Jam
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Poppy Seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoons Onion Powder
  • FOR THE CANDIED PECANS:
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1/2 cups Whole Raw Pecans
  • FOR THE SALAD:
  • 5 ounces, weight Package Spring Mix Salad Greens
  • 6 ounces, weight Package Fresh Raspberries
  • 1/4 whole Medium Red Onion, Thinly Sliced
  • 1/2 cups Crumbled Feta Cheese

Method

  • For the vinaigrette: Mix together all of the vinaigrette ingredients in a blender or small bowl of a food processor until emulsified. Set aside.
  • For the candied pecans:
  • Add butter and sugar to a saute pan over medium heat. Once melted toss in pecans and cook for one minute. Pour and spread out onto waxed paper to cool. Break apart with a fork before adding to the salad.
  • Assembling the salad:
  • Layer the greens, raspberries, onion, Feta, and pecans on a platter, drizzle with the vinaigrette and serve.
  • Tips: I love to add spinach to the lettuce mix. The vinaigrette may be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
