Spinach, apples, red onion amp; pecans in a sweet-tart dressing. To make this salad extra special, I like to glaze the pecans by stirring them with 1 tablespoon sugar in a medium non-stick frying pan over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar melts. Pour them out on waxed paper and separate with your spoon while still warm. If you do this, you don't need to toast the pecans. It takes about 5 minutes or so for the sugar to melt.
Our better-for-you side proves that sometimes the simplest recipes are the best: fresh asparagus with almonds, mushrooms, lemon juice and delicate dressing. Say no more.
