A wonderful marriage of greens, fruit, cheese and tangy dressing but the star of this show is the cinnamon pecans. We have enjoyed candied walnuts, almonds and all kinds of other nuts both sweet and savory in salads but this is the first time we have had cinnamon pecans and were thoroughly delighted with the flavor dimension they brought. I made stacking the ingredients instead of tossing but other than that no changes were made, and was very pleased with the simplicity and end results of how the pecans are prepared. We will be enjoying this pretty and tasty salad again, thanks for the post.
