My most-requested salad

I have grown to hate bottled salad dressings, so I've come up with a few versions of my own. One of my favorites goes great with this salad.

Salad:
1 bag of mixed field greens
1 bag of dried cranberries
1 container of crumbled goat cheese (fresh goat cheese, not feta)
1 cup of pecans, sugared (see below)

Coarsely chop pecans. Heat 1/2 cup of sugar in a non-stick skillet on high heat until it melts. Watch it closely so it doesn't burn. Once it turns to liquid, toss in the pecans and coat. Put in a pinch of kosher salt and a dash of cayenne pepper.

Transfer to parchment paper to cool. Break into pieces (it will look like a brittle) and add to the salad.

Dressing:

1/2 cup Pomegranate vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
Pinch of salt and pepper
Whisk together then drizzle in, while whisking, 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil.

You can always add grilled chicken or salmon to to this to make it a meal.
