Categories     Salads

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup (4 ounces) pecan halves
2 tablespoons real maple syrup
Pinch salt
1 small garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1½ tablespoons real maple syrup
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 cups mesclun greens (or favorite mixed greens such as green or red leaf, boston, bibb, or romaine)
3 ounces goat cheese (or blue cheese), crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil or line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine the pecans and maple syrup and toss gently to combine. Spread the pecans in a single layer on one of the prepared baking sheets. Roast in the preheated oven, stirring once, until the syrup is bubbling vigorously, about 5 minutes. Immediately scrape the glazed pecans onto the other prepared baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and set aside to cool.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, shallots, salt, pepper, maple syrup, mustard and vinegar. Whisking constantly, slowly add the oil in a steady stream. (Alternatively, add all your ingredients to a jar, cover with lid, and shake vigorously to blend.) Set aside.
  • Place the greens in a large bowl, drizzle with about half of the vinaigrette and toss to combine. Add as much of the remaining vinaigrette as desired and toss again. Divide among individual plates, sprinkle with the cheese and reserved pecans and serve immediately.

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
1 dash cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup halved pecans
1 red bell pepper
2 oranges
1 tablespoon olive oil
Fresh pepper

Steps:

  • In a small saute pan add 2 tablespoons whole butter, dash of cayenne, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the 1/2 cup of pecans. Cook this slowly over a very low flame, taking care to stir carefully and occasionally. The sugar will burn easily if the flame is too hot. On a stable cutting board, julienne the red pepper and then peel and section the 2 oranges. Squeeze the remaining orange pulp over a large bowl and to this add the 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss the salad greens in this and then place on a salad plate. Arrange the oranges and red bell pepper slices on the top and garnish with the caramelized pecan halves. Allow the pecans to cool before eating.

MESCLUN SALAD WITH CLEMENTINES



Mesclun Salad with Clementines image

This is a colorful summer salad, but with fresh ingredients available all year round you can make this all-natural healthy salad anytime of the year. I like to change up my salad greens at times and incorporate green leaf, red leaf, spinach, frislee, escarole and romaine into the mix. I wish that many would move away from the traditional iceberg lettuce and into using fresher more nutritious greens like those listed above. Iceberg certainly has the crunch, but it's like eating ice, there is little if any nutritional value in iceberg lettuce. So give this salad a try and you will be surprised with how well you'll like the difference in using fresh mixed greens.

Categories     Lettuce Salads

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 small head red leaf lettuce, torn into bite sized pieces
1 small head green leaf lettuce, torn into bite sized pieces
4 cup(s) fresh spinach leaves, stems picked off and torn into bite sized pieces
1 medium red onion, sliced thin
2 - clementines (you can substitute 2 small cans mandarin oranges, drained)
1/4 cup(s) sucanat
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon(s) paprika, sweet mild
1/2 teaspoon(s) celery salt
1/4 cup(s) grapeseed oil
1/2 cup(s) red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Mix lettuce and next three ingredients in a large salad bowl, reserving several onion slices and separated clementines segments for garnish.
  • Combine Sucanat and remaining ingredients in a blender or shaker jar; blend or shake well.
  • Add about half of the dressing just before serving; toss well. Garnish with reserved clementines and red onion slices.
  • To make this more a meal add in sliced grilled chicken breast, some fresh sliced strawberries or whole raspberries and blackberries. I like to add fresh croutons and toasted pine nuts or sunflower seeds to give it a nice crunch.
