Ingredients

1 Container of fresh washed baby salad greens or a Spring mix

approximately:

1 C. sliced fresh strawberries or seedless grapes halved. You may also like Mandrin oranges.

1/2 C finely Julienned carrots or grated carrots

1/3 to 1/2 C. sugar glazed pecans, walnuts or almonds

Dressing:

1/4 C. Mayonnaise

3 to 4 T. Champagne vinegar (or left over white wine)

2 tsp. sugar

1/2 C. Canola or vegetable oil

1/4 C. Pure Maple Syrup

pinch of salt

Whisk together or shake in a jar to emulsify.

(With the nuts, I usually make at least a cup and a half because of all the munching that goes on before the meal or by my husband, anytime!)

Candied Nuts

1 1/2 C. pecans, almonds or walnuts or a mix

1/2 C. Sugar

1/4 C. water

1/2 tsp. cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)

Place all ingredients in a heavy or iron skillet and cook over medium heat until the water evaporates and the nuts have a sugary appearance. Pour onto a greased baking sheet and separate nuts quickly with a couple of forks. Cool. Store (yeah, right!) covered in the fridge or freeze.

Directions

Place fresh cold greens in a pretty bowl or on individual salad dishes. Top with fruit, drizzle with dressing and top with the nuts.

Serve and listen to the yummmmmmms!

If you must add cheese, a bit of shaved ir grated fresh Parmesan would be fine with this salad.
