Spinach Salad With Strawberries, Gorgonzola And Glazed Pecans
- 2 1/2 cups pecan halves
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 package baby spinach Fresh, washed and dried
- 16 ounces strawberries Fresh, washed, dried and sliced
- 3 ounces gorgonzola cheese
- 1 whole sweet onion chopped
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing
- In a saute pan over medium-high heat, toast pecans until slightly browned, shaking pan frequently to prevent nuts from burning, about 3-5 minutes. Add honey and cayenne pepper, stir until nuts are completely coated, and let simmer 3-4 minutes.
- Remove pecans from the heat and spread them on a plate or a cookie sheet to cool.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saute pan on medium-high. Add onions and saute, stirring frequently, until nicely caramelized, about 10 minutes.
- Plating: arrange spinach on plates and top with sliced strawberries, caramelized onions, toasted pecans, and Gorgonzola. Drizzle with dressing and serve.
