Maple Blueberry Pecan Salad

Dressing:

1/3 C Pure Maple Syrup
1/3 C Rice Vinegar
1 C Sugar (Next time try 3/4 cup, 1 cup seems to be too much)
1 Package Dry Italian Dressing Mix

Blend together then slowly add:
1/2 C Light Olive Oil

Note: Cut the Dressing in half if serving a small group. The full amount makes 1 1/2-2 cups.

Salad:

Romain Lettuce
Feta Cheese
Diced Gala Apples
Blueberries
Cinnamon Sugared Pecans

Cinnamon Sugared Pecans:
1/3 C Brown Sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 C Pecans (chopped or broke in half)

Place add ingredients into a frying pan over medium heat.  Stir until sugar melts and coats the nuts well, but remove from heat as quickly as possible.  Spread on wax paper or non-stick pan.  Let cool then break apart before adding to salad.
