Quick post. I had my friend Robin over for supper and made a rather delicious salad (among other dishes). Anyway, I liked it enough that I figured I’d post the recipe online.
Frange’s Spinach Salad of Doom
Secret ingredient: spicy candied pecans!
Start by melting around 1/2 cup of sugar in a saucepan with 2 tbsp of sambal oelek. Once the sugar is melted, place 1 cup of pecan pieces into the saucepan and stir until they are evenly coated. Remove from the heat and place onto wax paper to cool, separating them while they are still warm (so that you aren’t left with a single, giant, spicy omni-pecan).
The rest of the salad:
- a decent amount of fresh spinach
- around 3/4 c. of grated asiago cheese
- 2 cups cantaloupe, cut into small cubes
- 6-8 green onions, chopped
Add the pecans and toss with the dressing. Serve!
Dressing:
- 1/3 c. light olive oil
- 1/3 c. balsamic vinegar
- 1-2 tsp. prepared mustard (preferably Dijon)
- Sugar, salt and pepper to taste
That sounds like a keeper. I’ll certainly try this one. I hope that you are keeping a written record of your recipes.
There is nothing like the taste of toasted pecans….candied toasted pecans would be heavenly!!!
