MANDARIN ORANGE SALAD WITH PECANS

My mom uses almonds when she does this salad. I use pecans. You can also "candy" the pecans by putting thime in a pan with some sugar and cooking until the sugar has caramelized. Remove from the heat and pour onto foil and let cool. Break the pecans apart and toss with the salad.

365 Ways to Cook Chicken. This is such an easy and adaptable recipe. Feel free to use canned chicken, arugula instead of the watercress. I added some leftover (plain) steamed green beans to the salad and that was good too. Grape tomatoes would be a nice adddition.
