How to make it
For Pecan Vinaigrette
- Saute onion and garlic in about 1T olive oil until soft and fragrant.
- In medium glass bowl, combine lemon juice, vinegar, honey, parsley, pecans and the onion and garlic mixture.
- Stir to combine.
- Slowly drizzle remaining oil, a little bit at a time, whisking constantly, to emulsify.
- Continue with remaining oil.
- Alternately, put all the ingredients in a blender and process briefly(if you do this, use larger pecan pieces, because the processing will then cut them smaller.
- OR just put everything into a plastic bowl with air tight lid and shake the heck out of it. :)
- Set aside
- Brush cut sides of peaches with butter, then sprinkle with small amount of raw sugar and grill over high heat for about 2 minutes.
- Arrange greens on serving plate.
- Put a peach half in the center and top with blackberries and sausage.
- Drizzle with dressing and top with shredded Parmesan.
