PrintMaple-Pecan Salad with Plum Vinaigrette
This salad has warmth from Miller Pecan Co. pecans and maple flavor from Griffins Original Syrup, plus a sweet-tang from a plum vinaigrette. For a main dish, top with grilled chicken breast.
Ingredients
- 4 cups Scissortail Farms salad greens
- 1/2 cup goat cheese crumbles
- 1 cup Miller Pecan Co. pecan halves
- 1/4 cup Griffins Original Syrup
For the plum vinaigrette:
- 1/4 cup Garden Club Red Plum Jam
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Wash salad greens and toss with goat cheese crumbles. Portion into dinner bowls.
In a small pan over medium-high heat, cook pecans with Griffins syrup until pecans are slightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Let pecans cool before adding to salad greens.
Create the plum vinaigrette: combine jam and balsamic vinegar, whisking vigorously. (Add a teaspoon of hot water to help dissolve the jam, if needed.) Continue to whisk while slowly adding the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Drizzle each salad with the plum vinaigrette and serve.
