  1. Make Fran's Vinaigrette–click the link for the recipe; set aside to allow the flavors time to mingle.
  2. Toast the pecans by placing the nuts in a dry skillet over low heat and toss every few minutes until lightly browned and toasted. Be careful not to burn them. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool completely.
  3. Prepare the salad by placing the mixed greens in a large bowl.
