Salad Ingredients

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Candied Pecans

    In a skillet over medium heat, combine the chopped Texas pecans, honey, and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pecans are toasted and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2

    Make the Balsamic Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large salad bowl, add the mixed leafy greens. Drizzle with the balsamic dressing and toss gently to coat the greens evenly.

  4. 4

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and the candied pecans over the top of the salad.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or a light main course.
