Instructions

  1. Wash and dry arugula and berries.
  2. Thinly slice a small shallot or use just a portion of a larger shallot. Feel free to adjust the amount used to taste.

TOAST THE PECANS

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  2. Spread pecans on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until they darken a shade or two and smell nutty, 4-6 minutes. Set aside to cool.

MAKE THE DRESSING

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together salad ingredients until smooth and emulsified.
  2. Add sliced shallot to the dressing and mix well.

SALAD TIME!

  1. Once pecans have cooled, add to the salad bowl along with arugula, feta, and blackberries.
  2. Gently toss to coat and add any additional salt, pepper, or extras to taste. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Though I used blackberries to get my fruit fix, feel free to use fresh apples, pears, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or even a combination of mixed berries.
