Simple Leafy Salad with a Crunchy Element

2 servings · 15 min.

Salad Base

• 100 g mixed leaf lettuce (e.g., arugula, lamb's lettuce, Lollo Rosso) 
• 1 spring onion, sliced into rings 
• ½ avocado, diced 

Crunchy Treat – Honey Pecans

• 60 g pecans 
• 1 tablespoon honey 
• 1 pinch of sea salt 
• 1 pinch of cayenne pepper 

Preparation

1. Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. 
2. Add the honey directly to the pan—caramelize for 1–2 minutes until the nuts are glossy. Add salt and cayenne pepper. 
3. Spread them out immediately on parchment paper and let them cool completely—they will harden as they cool. 
4. Wash the salad ingredients, spin them dry, and mix them in a large bowl. 
5. Mix up a fresh dressing of your choice (all 3 recipes in this collection). 
6. Drizzle the dressing over the salad right before serving—not before, or the salad will wilt. 
7. Coarsely chop the honey pecans and sprinkle them generously over the top. Serve immediately.
