SPINACH SALAD WITH CARAMELIZED PECANS

Caramelized pecans make this salad especially good. This is a salad they used to serve at the restaurant one of my son's worked at, Rockbottom Brewery. If you want a salad with a bit more punch, try blue cheese instead of the feta.

1/2 cup pecan halves
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 (6 ounce) package fresh Baby Spinach (I also like to make it with a combination of freshbaby spinach and baby greens)

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons white vinegar

SPINACH SALAD WITH CANDIED PEARS, PECANS AND BRIE

The combination of these ingredients is fantastic. The candied pecans give a nice little crunch to the salad. Add some seafood or grilled chicken and you have a full meal. To save time buy the prepackaged washed baby spinach. This recipe came from Rose Reisman's "Secrets for Permanent Weight Loss" cookbook.
