Apple Pecan salad

Here is another recent creation that I took to a luncheon where people asked for the recipe so I wrote it down so here it is:

Mixed greens

1 granny smith apple cut into chunks

1/2 cup craisins

1 green onion sliced thin

3/4 cup chopped pecans

1/2 cup brown sugar

pinch of sea salt

1/2 cup feta cheese

In a small skillet over medium heat add brown sugar to pan and let melt.  Stir occasionally to make sure it doesn't burn.  Once it is completely melted, add the pecans and remove from heat.  Quickly stir them till all the pecans are coated and then sprinkle with sea salt.  Transfer to parchment paper and let cool completely.  Chop clumps up into small clusters and serve over the salad.  

for the dressing:

1 cup olive oil

1/2 cup orange champagne vinager (I buy this at Trader Joe's so if you can't get it just substitute half champagne or white wine vinegar and half orange juice)

1 Tbsp dijon mustard

1 tsp honey or more to taste

salt and pepper

Mix all ingredients together except for olive oil.  When they are mixed well, whisk in the olive oil.  Pour over above ingredients and serve immediately.
