Instructions
Salad Dressing – Balsamic Glaze
-
In a small saucepan, heat balsamic vinegar and honey over medium heat.
-
Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat to simmer and cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and reduces by about half (about 10 or so minutes).
-
Remove from heat and pour the balsamic glaze into a heat-proof bowl to cool off. The glaze will get thicker as it cools off.
-
Consistency should be thick enough to coat the back of the spoon but should not be overly thick.
Salad
-
In a large bowl, combine all of the salad ingredients, except the pecans. Toss to combine.
-
Divide the salad into individual serving bowls.
-
Top each serving bowl with whole and chopped toasted pecans.
-
Drizzle the top of the salad in each bowl with balsamic glaze.
