Pineapple Spinach Salad

Ingredients:

• 10-13 ounces spinach
• 1 pineapple (chopped into bite-size pieces)
• 6 ounces feta
• Dressing
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • 1/8-¼ teaspoon dry mustard (optional)
• Pecans
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Directions

Combine all the dressing ingredients in a mason jar or tupperware. Shake vigorously and set aside.

In a small pan, heat the butter over medium-high heat. When hot, add the pecans and stir to coat.

Add the brown sugar and stir again. Stir occasionally until the sugar starts to caramelize, about 2-5 minutes. Remove to a wax paper lined cookie sheet and let cool.

In a large bowl add the spinach, pineapple, and feta. Toss to combine.

Sprinkle the top with pecans and serve with the salad dressing.
