2 bags salad- "Spring Mix" works best
2 cups pecans
1/2 cup sugar
Kiwi, chopped (optional)
Strawberries, sliced (optional)
Grapes, quartered (optional)
Mandarin oranges, drained (optional)
Feta (optional)
Craisins (optional)
Dressing:
3 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper (optional)
2 Tbsp apple cider or white vinegar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Combine salad ingredients to your liking. For pecans, melt sugar with pecans in a pan on low until sugar melts and crystallizes. Watch closely, as this will burn quickly after it melts. Mix dressing ingredients and shake well in a container. Pour on salad just before serving.

I will have to take your word for it that they are good, especially since this sounds like it would feed a crowd! I'll have to make it next time I am in charge of salad at a family dinner.
We were invited over to a friend’s house for dinner and I made this salad. It was SOO good! Everyone wanted the recipe. I will definitely half this recipe and have it for dinner many times in the future, thanks!
Hey, I added a picture of this salad. I know, it was one of the first on the blog, but I still make it ALL THE TIME! Especially for get togethers. Anyway, I always add the feta, strawberries, Craisins and grapes. I also add the pecans, but I get the candied pecans from Trader Joes. You can do them yourself, or find something similar in your store. Hope the pic shows how beautiful and amazing this salad is! I get compliments on it all the time!
Oh how I loooove this salad! I ask for it at every BBQ and holiday! The craisins and grapes and candied pecans are so good! And the feta is yummy in it!!
