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.

ready in:
  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.
