In preparing for our Christmas Day lunch, I have been "tossing" (no pun intended) around a few ideas. I think that I have come up with a salad that all will enjoy.
Laura's Christmas Salad
By: Laura Fowell
Number 45
Ingredients
Candied Almonds
Toasted Pecans
Dried Cranberries
Mixed Greens
Dressing (Elizabeth's Dressing)
Directions
Candied Almonds
Place sliced almonds in a saute pan with a small amount of butter and sugar. Bring to a boil. Stir constantly. Allow to dried on parchment paper and break into small pieces.
Toasted Pecans
Preheat oven to 350. Place pecans on a cookie sheet.
Brush melted butter evenly across pecans. Place in oven for 6 to 10 minutes. Toss twice.
Dressing
I am borrowing an idea from my friend's cooking blog.
I have changed the dressing recipe to fit my salad needs. Here is the original link.
1 cup veg. oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1 t salt
dash black pepper
Combine and chill.
Salad
Rinse and pat dry leaves. Add toasted pecans, candied almonds and dried cranberries.
Add dressing immediately before serving.
Enjoy!
Happy Christmas!
Laura
