Servings: 8
INGREDIENTS
- 4 cups Wasabi Sun Dried Tomato Dressing (see recipe below)
- 4 cups red cabbage, julienne
- 4 cups green cabbage, julienne
- 8 cups spring greens, mixed
- 1 cup Candied Pecans (see recipe below)
- 1 cup mixed nuts, roasted (see *Note)
DIRECTIONS
Toss the red cabbage, green cabbage, and spring greens together with the Wasabi Sun Dried Tomato Dressing until lightly coated. Divide into equal portions on salad plates, about 2 cups each. Top with 2 tablespoons of the candied pecans and 2 tablespoons of the roasted nuts.
*Note: Use a combination of your favorite nuts. We like to use: almonds, cashews, filberts, and pumpkin seeds. But use whatever is freshest and available in your area. Roast the nuts in 350 oven until they are golden brown, but not burned. Allow the roasted nuts to cool before using.

Toast the pecans in a skillet, or roast in the oven until golden brown. Combine the butter, cream and sugar in a skillet over high heat. Stir until melted. Add half of the seasoning. Stir in well. Cook until the mixture is thick and bubbling and foaming heavily, about 4 minutes. Add the pecans and stir until thoroughly coated. Cook until the sugar is sticky and caramelized.

Then, sprinkle lightly with chipotle chile.
