Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 8 cups - to 10 cups baby field greens or torn leaf lettuce
- 6 pieces - to 8 pieces bacon fried crisp and crumbled
- 1/2 cups - crumbled goat cheese or feta optional
- - balsamic maple vinaigrette
- - sugared pecans
- 1/2 cups - balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cups - pure maple syrup
- 1 - large shallot minced
- 1 cups - vegetable oil
- 1/2 cups - olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoons - salt
- 1/2 teaspoons - pepper
- 1 teaspoons - mustard
- 1/4 cups - packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons - water
- 1 cups - pecan halves
Directions:
For Balsamic Maple Vinaigrette:
Place all vinaigrette ingredients in a large jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake to mix well. Refrigerate until needed; shake before using.
For Sugared Pecans:
Place brown sugar and water in a heavy saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add pecans and cook, stirring constantly, until all water evaporates, about 5 minutes. Spread pecans on a baking sheet until cooled and dry. Break apart nuts that are stuck together; store pecans in a Ziploc bag until ready to use.
For Salad:
In a large bowl, toss together field greens, bacon and goat cheese (or feta). Drizzle salad dressing over all and toss to coat evenly. Add sugared pecans and toss again. Serve chilled.
