"Can I have that salad recipe" Salad

Dedicated to my friends and family that love it and have asked for it...it's why I love to cook and create... Enjoy!

Start with Baby arugula or field greens... Your choice.

1/2 cup diced cucumber

1/2 cup chick peas

1/8 cup diced red onion

One shredded carrot

1/8 cup dried cranberries

1/4 cup feta crumbled

1/4 cup candied pecans (yes you can make your own and they are way better!)

Pecans:

Melt 2 tbsp butter, add 2 tbsp brown sugar ... Bring to boil, turn off hear and add fresh pecans. Lay out to cool on parchment paper and sprinkle salt and pepper. Mmm

Dressing:

1/4 c olive oil

1tsp sesame oil

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp balsamic vinegar (you can use red wine, apple cider vinegar if you want or don't have balsamic)

Dash of salt

1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper ( you will never see me use already ground pepper.. It's just not the same!)

1 clove minced garlic but 1/8 tsp of garlic powder ok too

Shake vigorously to combine and mix all together.

You can add grilled chicken, shrimp or steak and make this a meal!
