My husband and I have been trying to eat healthier as part of our Six Sisters’ Strong Challenge, but I have the hardest time eating salad! I love just about anything with balsamic vinegar so I thought I would throw together a salad with a few of my favorite ingredients in hopes that I would make a salad my family would love. This salad was so easy to make and tasted amazing!

Salad:
Toss together spring salad mix, sliced strawberries and blackberries. Add some Feta cheese for garnish (as much or little as you like).
Candied Pecans:
In a saucepan over medium heat, mix together chopped pecans and sugar.
Stir constantly for a few minutes until the sugar has caramelized and all of the pecans are coated.
Spread the coated pecans on a piece of foil or wax paper to cool.
After they are completely cool, break into pieces if they get clumped together. Add cooled pecans to salad and toss.

Oh how I love this salad! Don't you wish salads could make themselves? Not that it's hard but salads have a lot of steps to them. I think I need a mom. That's it. Come home, salad is made. Kitchen is clean. Sit down and eat. Yep. I need a mom. But I AM the mom. Oh well...I'm pinning this. Someday, I will be making it and eating it, too.
