Pecan Pie Salad

Ingredients:

• Baby spinach
• 1 cup of pecans
• 1 cup of blackberries
• Half a diced English Cucumbers

How to make the salad:

This salad was a bit of an experiment
I love to use pecans  but I was a little short on time and I wanted sweet crunchy ones so I fudged the traditional way of making them in the oven and did a stovetop one that made them taste a bit like my pecan pie filling !!!!!
In a heavy pan add a tablespoon of corn syrup and a tablespoon of sugar and let gently melt.
Add the pecans and on a low heat toss in the mixture and toast gently.
once cooled you get crunchy, sweet caramel pecan pie style nuts Mmmmm.

In a bowl add a few cups of baby spinach, add the finely diced cucumbers and top of with the berries and nuts.
I did not add any dressing since the sweet, tart berries and the nuts were full of flavor nothing more was needed.
