Categories     Salad     Side     Side Dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 19

½ cup water
½ cup granulated sugar
2 ½ cups coarsely chopped pecans
Kosher salt, to taste
1 ½ cups mayonnaise
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups spring mix lettuce
¾ cup sweetened dried cranberries, such as Craisins
¾ cup crumbled blue cheese
¾ cup mandarin oranges, drained
⅓ cup candied pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small saucepan on the stovetop, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil, whisking to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat, stir in the pecans; toss to coat. Spread the nuts on a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until toasty. Keep a close eye on them so that they don't burn. While still warm, sprinkle the nuts with a little bit of kosher salt to taste. Set aside to cool completely. Once cool, you can store the candied nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a month.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, lemon juice, kosher salt, black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Add the vinegar and mustard, whisk to combine.
  • Whisk in the oil, one tablespoon at a time, blending well after each addition. The mixture should be thick, but pourable. If it's too thick, gradually whisk in some water until it reaches the desired consistency. Store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Arrange the lettuce greens on individual salad plates or on a large serving platter. Top with candied pecans, blue cheese, cranberries and oranges. Just before serving, drizzle the dressing over the salad, to taste.
