Instructions
Air Fryer Spiced Pecans
- Measure 1 cup Pecan halves into a mixing bowl
- Add in the olive oil, salt, paprika, confectioners sugar and brown sugar and toss well
- Line your air fryer basket with some foil and spread the mixture on it
- Cook @ 300° Fahrenheit for 5 minutes to toast the pecans.
- Take out of the air fryer and set aside to cool before using.
Sweet & Spicy Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette
- Roughly chop the serrano chili and mash it using a mortar and pestle. (see notes)
- Squeeze the juice of the lime and mix it with the crushed chili.
- Add in all of the other ingredients and whisk well. (see notes)
Grilled Peach & Blueberry Salad
- Mix the salad mix and the micro greens and toss with the dressing.
- Heat a grill pan and spray with the non stick spray
- Slice the peaches and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side till you get the desired sear marks, and then set them aside to cool slightly. (see notes)
- Add the blueberries and pecans.
- Gently scatter the peaches and drizzle any juice on the salad to give it extra flavor.
Notes
- Extra light virgin olive oil - Extra light virgin olive oil is the only type of EVOO with a high smoke point. If you can't source it, use an alternative like avocado, peanut, or sunflower oil.
- Confectioner sugar - This sugar has some cornstarch added, which helps absorb moisture. This recipe pairs it with brown sugar to help keep the nuts crisp.
- Serrano chili - These add a pleasant and welcome kick to the dressing without making it too spicy. If you're not a fan of chilies, deseed the pepper or omit it altogether.
- Honey - This helps balance all the other flavors in the dressing. Maple syrup can be used as a substitute, especially if you want this salad to be vegan.
- Infused oil and vinegar - I love using these in my cooking. I have an assortment from the Vignoli Italian food anthology and use them as needed for dressings and marinades.
- Peaches - Buy a little firm peaches, as these grill better. Cut these into eight pieces for best results, and use oil or nonstick spray when you grill them. The peaches will stick to the pan without some fat as the sugars are released and caramelize. Make sure to wait to flip the slices over until 3-4 minutes have passed to get good grill marks.
- Pecans—You can use store-bought glazed pecans, but I highly recommend making these. I love the leftovers for snacks.
