Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup pecan halves
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 (6 ounce) packages fresh baby spinach ( I also like to make it with a combination of freshbaby spinach and baby greens)
1 large granny smith apples, cored, sliced and then cut each slice into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons white vinegar
Directions:
Melt butter in small frying pan over low heat.
Add pecans and brown sugar.
Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly until mixture is caramelized.
Spread out on wax paper to cool.
In bowl toss together spinach, pecans, apple and cheese.
Add oil and vinegar and toss again until everything is coated.
Chef’s note: To make ahead for a special dinner–toss apple with dressing. Layer on greens, cheese and pecans. Cover with plastic wrap and put in refrigerator until needed, tossing just before serving.
