Ingredients

Praline

1/3 cup pecans, chopped fine

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste

3 tablespoons sugar

Dressing

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/4 cup sherry wine vinegar

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Salad

6 cups washed and spun dry arugula

1/4 pound blue cheese, coarsely crumbled

1/3 cup dried cranberries

Directions

To make the praline:

In a bowl stir together pecans, salt, and cayenne. In a dry, small heavy skillet or saucepan cook sugar over moderate heat, stirring with a fork, until melted. Cook, without stirring or swirling the skillet or pan, until a golden caramel. Add pecan mixture and stir to coat nuts with caramel. Spoon praline onto a sheet of foil and cool. Transfer praline to a cutting board and chop fine.

To make the dressing:

In a bowl whisk together mustard, vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Slowly whisk in the oil in a stream.

To make the salad:

In a large bowl, toss arugula, blue cheese, cranberries, praline and enough of the dressing to just coat the leaves.
