#glazed pecans

Vegan Glazed nuts - As Requested! X

A fairly simple and delectable salad. It comes across as pretty impressive to dinner guests, and can be made using a bbq grill or a stovetop. I hope you enjoy this one as much as we did at Julie's dinner party!

Ingredients

3 tbsp rice or white wine vinegar

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1/3 cup olive oil (for dressing)

1/2 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt (for dressing)

3 white or yellow peaches, pitted and cut into wedges

1 tbsp olive oil (for peaches)

1 tsp salt (for peaches)

5 cups mixed spring greens

1/2 cup glazed pecans (see bottom note to make them)

1/3 cup goat cheese

Recipe

Preheat the grill (or stove-top) to medium-high

To prepare the dressing, combine vinegar and mustard in a small bowl. Slowly pour oil into the bowl, whisking constantly to emulsify. Stir in sugar and salt.

Place peaches in a bowl and drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with salt and toss well.

Place on the grill (or in a skillet) and cook 1-2 mins per side.

Place the spring greens in a large bowl, drizzle with dressing and toss to coat.

Place greens on plates and top with pecans, goat cheese, and grilled peaches.

Glazed Pecan Recipe

Heat a skillet on medium heat and place 1/2 cup raw pecans in the skillet.

Keep a careful eye on the pecans, flipping occasionally and warming them gradually.

When they are hot and starting to slightly brown, pour in 2 tbsp of honey or maple syrup.

Stir constantly for 1 minute, until evenly coated.
