About

This salad is a wholesome version of my favorite salad from California Pizza Kitchen. This recipe has a simple, delicious balsamic dressing, nuts candied with coconut sugar, organic greens, and crisp pears. Honestly, it’s tastier than the original.

Note: By making a big batch of glazed pecans and dressing at the beginning of the week you’ll be able to quickly throw this salad together in the evenings before dinner.


Serves 4
For the Salad

1 tablespoon coconut oil

⅓ cup pecans, chopped

3 tablespoons coconut palm sugar

4 cups Mixed Greens

1 Bosc pear, cored and sliced

For the Dressing

⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil

¼ cup balsamic glaze

½ teaspoon powdered stevia

1 tablespoon fresh thyme

1 teaspoon dijon mustard

pinch of black pepper


Directions
For the Salad
1

Melt the coconut oil in a small skillet over low heat. Add the pecans and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Add the coconut palm sugar and continue to cook, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes, until the sugar has melted and the pecans are golden. Remove from the heat and set aside.

2

Divide the greens and sliced pear among 4 plates. Top with the candied pecans.

For the Dressing
1

Combine the dressing ingredients in a small jar or bowl. Shake or mix well, then drizzle over the salad.
