Beet Salad with Figs, Feta, Quick Candied Pecans, and Maple Orange Dressing

Say hi to my offset autumn salad of the flavor! Fall salads are my absolute favorite. There’s then much goodness yous tin can add! Fall food is but the best. We’ve got roasted beets, the about delicious maple orangish dressing, feta, FIGS, together with quick candied pecans which sense of taste like candy. This whole salad is like candy, actually. Too far? I don’t think and then.

It all starts amongst these babies. They are made on the stovetop and they’re SO EASY. I simply discovered this method (I e'er used to bake them) in addition to at that place’s no going dorsum.

All y'all make is toast the pecans alongside a picayune cinnamon for a few minutes inward a dry out skillet, and so add together maple syrup as well as cook them for a minute some until they’re viscous! And and then add a generous pinch of body of water table salt. Because sweet in addition to salty is the best. It’s that tardily! I see these becoming a regular inward the spicesinmydna home.

My adjacent favorite part of this salad is the figs. And the dressing. How do I pick out?! I honey figs in addition to the season is e'er manner too short. They’re merely perfect.

And the dressing! I could drink it. It’s the perfect balance of sugariness, citrus, and a trivial bit of savory. It’second merely orange juice, orangish zest, garlic, apple tree cider vinegar, maple syrup, olive fossil oil, table salt, in addition to pepper! I desire to position it on everything.

We’ve got feta because no really skillful salad is complete without a footling cheese. Am I correct?

I constitute the juiciest bellybutton oranges at the store together with they made this salad that much better. A really adept orange is similar a really expert peach to me. They’re difficult to go, but when you lot find ane, in that location’sec cypher similar it.

You could for sure add approximately protein to this salad if y'all want to arrive even heartier, just it’s non really necessary. The cheese, nuts, as well as roasted beets really add good fats, poly peptide, as well as carbs to fuel you up!

I seriously cannot comprise my excitement most autumn food! What’second your favorite food flavor?!
