Made this for clients today and it was stunning. I supremed the oranges for extra foo foo-ness. This salad would go well with a lot of fruit or white balsamic vinaigrettes, just make sure to taste your candied pecans first. The brand I bought was SUPER SWEET and I'm afraid that they would only go well with a young standard balsamic and olive oil as the author has written.
