Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup whole pecans
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
6 ounces baby spinach leaves, washed and patted dry
2 cups strawberries, washed, hulled and sliced
3 ounces chevre goat cheese, crumbled (I used French feta instead)
1 shallot, sliced thinly
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons strawberry jam sweetened with fruit juice, slightly warmed
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
fresh coarse ground black pepper

Steps:

  • CARAMELIZED PECANS: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat and stir on low until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and boil mixture for 5-10 minutes without stirring; until syrup is golden brown. Watch boiling process carefully! Please be careful not to burn yourself!
  • Arrange the pecans in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  • Drizzle the simple syrup over the pecans. Stir to coat. Allow to stand 20 minutes or so to cool and harden. Chop coarsely once cooled.
  • STRAWBERRY DRESSING: Combine all dressing ingredients in a tight fitting jar with a lid and shake well. Yield 1/2 cup.
  • SALAD: Meanwhile, arrange the washed spinach leaves on six individual salad plates. Top with pecan mixture, strawberries, cheese and shallots. Serve dressing on side.
