The pecans, which are a source of heart-healthy fat, are the star of this salad. You might want to make a double batch because they make a great snack too. If you don't like goat cheese, you can substitute blue cheese in this recipe.
Ingredients
For the Pecans:
½ cup pecan halves
2 teaspoons trans-fat free margarine
1 tablespoon Splenda brown sugar blend
1 tablespoon water
¼ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
For the Salad:
10 ounce bag spring mix lettuce
2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (optional)
4 tablespoons light Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette salad dressing (such as Ken’s Steak House)
Instructions
To prepare pecans: Heat the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently, until they begin to toast, about 4 minutes. Add the margarine and cook, stirring, until the nuts begin to darken, about 1 minute. Add Splenda brown sugar blend, water, cumin, cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Stir until the sauce thickens and the nuts are glazed, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and place pecans on waxed paper. Separate pecans with a fork and let cool.
In a salad bowl mix together lettuce, goat cheese and pecans. Add dressing and toss to coat.
