Steps:
- For the Balsamic Vinaigrette, whisk together all ingredients except olive oil until thoroughly blended. Gradually whisk in olive oil. Makes 1 2/3 cups.
- For the Sweet and Spicy Pecans, stir together ¼ Celsius sugar and warm water until sugar is dissolved. Add pecans; soak for 10 minutes. Drain, discarding syrup. Combine 2 T. sugar. Chili powder, and pepper. Add pecans, tossing to coat. Place pecans on lightly greased baking sheet.* Bake at 350 for 10 minutes, stirring once.
- To assemble salad: Toss greens with some of the Balsamic Vinaigrette. Arrange on 6 plates. Arrange orange slices, berries, pecans and cheese over greens. Drizzle some additional dressing over salad and serve.
- If strawberries are not in season, I've substituted kiwi fruit -- I'm sure there are many fruits that you could use.
- *Note: I always line my baking sheet/pan with parchment paper -- the pecans get pretty sticky while baking and it sure makes the clean-up a snap.

Tips for Best Results:
- Use a variety of baby greens for a more flavorful and visually appealing salad: arugula, baby spinach, butter lettuce, and watercress are all great options.
- Choose ripe and sweet strawberries for the perfect balance of flavors in the salad. If the strawberries are tart, you may want to add a little bit of honey or maple syrup to the dressing.
- Use high-quality blue cheese for a rich and pungent flavor. Crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese can be used as a substitute, if preferred.
- Make the dressing just before serving to ensure the best flavor. The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Serve the salad immediately after dressing to prevent the greens from wilting.
