The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Crunchy-Sweet Pecan Salad Topping
- add review
- #97124
One of the biggest culprits of a boring salad is texture. Use these roasted, candied pecans to add a wonderful crunch to a massive variety of salads. Especially good on summer spinach salads with strawberries or grilled peaches.

30-60 minutes
ingredients
1/2 cup pecan halves or pieces
1 teaspoon maple syrup
directions
Place a small cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When pan is warm, add pecans and roast, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes until nuts are golden and release a wonderfully nutty aroma.
Turn heat off. Drizzle maple syrup over nuts and stir quickly, helping to coat all pieces. Place coated nuts on a plate to cool (about 30 minutes), and serve.
Christine's Notes: Perfect when topping a salad of Buttercrunch lettuce with some of those dried Michigan cherries.
