This salad is different, is very good with lots of flavor. Easy to make. I toasted the pecans first in a little butter on top of the stove, Caramelized the onions and made the dressing all in the same pan.Made the recipe as stated. We loved all the flavors, I will be making it again as it is a very good salad. Thank you Rita for another yummy recipe.
