1 lb mixed salad greens, including fresh baby spinach
4 ounces goat cheese
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 1-2 inch thin slices
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300°F. Place pecans in a bowl, pour melted butter
over them, sprinkle with sugar, and gently toss until the pecans are
all well coated with a dusting of sugar. Place them in a single layer
on a parchment paper or Silpat lined cookie sheet. Bake for 20
minutes. Let cool to touch.
Whisk together the honey mustard, garlic, red pepper flakes, and
balsamic vinegar in a medium sized bowl. Slowly drizzle the oil into
the mixture, whisking constantly until completely incorporated.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Place lettuces and baby spinach in a large bowl. Add the goat
cheese, dried cranberries, red bell pepper, and pecans. Toss with
1/4 cup of the dressing.
