Citrus Bacon Pecan Salad Recipes

BABY SPINACH SALAD WITH ROASTED RED ONIONS, PECANS, DRIED CRANBERRIES, CRUMBLED GOAT CHEESE AND CITRUS DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the onion into thin wedges, through the root end. Toss with the olive oil, season with salt, to taste, and spread out on a baking sheet. Roast until just soft and brown, about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Put the spinach and onions in a large bowl. Drizzle with some of the dressing and toss. Add more dressing as needed; spinach should just be lightly coated. Divide salad among 4 chilled plates. Top with pecans, goat cheese, and dried cranberries. Serve immediately.
• Whisk the lemon zest, lemon juice, orange juice, Dijon, honey, thyme, and salt in a medium bowl until well combined. Gradually whisk in the oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream, to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing.
