Instructions
- Add pecans to a medium dry skillet set over medium heat. Toast and toss occasionally for 5 minutes or until fragrant and nuts are lightly toasted.
To make the dressing:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients except for the olive oil. In a thin, steady stream, slowly add the olive oil, whisking all the while, until an emulsion starts to form. At this point you can add olive oil in a larger stream until it is completely incorporated.
- To a large bowl, add some of the vinaigrette. Add salad, toss gently, and plate.
- Top salad with pecans, red onion, fruit, and blue cheese.
