I love salads. The perfect salad for me has to have something salty and something sweet and something crunchy.
These spiced pecans cover three out of the four bases! They make a great salad topping, particularly when paired with apples, pears or oranges (Blood oranges shown in this photo) and a Feta or goat cheese. They’re also very tasty to simply eat as a snack.

Add the pecans and stir until coated with butter mixture.
Pour onto the cookie sheet and put in the oven. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until nicely toasted. Store in a ziploc bag or airtight container.
