Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 (10 ounce) package mixed baby greens
- 1 pomegranate, peeled and seeds separated
- 1/4 red onion, sliced thin
- 1 (8 ounce) package crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup Olive Amelia Lemon Olive Oil
- 1/2 cup Olive Amelia Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- To make the candied pecans, pour the sugar in a small skillet and pour the pecans on top. Cook over medium heat until sugar melts and turns a caramel color, stirring constantly so that the nuts and sugar do not burn. Be patient! It takes a while for the sugar to start melting.
- Once the sugar turns a caramel color, keep stirring to coat the pecans with it. Pour pecans onto greased wax paper to cool. Once pecans are cooled, break them into pieces.
- Place the lettuce, pomegranate seeds, red onion, feta cheese, and pecan pieces into a large mixing bowl; set aside.
- Whisk together the Olive Amelia Lemon Olive Oil, Olive Amelia Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar, salt and pepper in a separate bowl. Pour over the salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
