Salad:
- 1 (16 ounce) bag spring salad mix
- 2 cups strawberries (sliced)
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1/2 cup Feta cheese crumbles
- Candied pecans*
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup sugar
Dressing:
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
- 3 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions
Salad:
Toss together spring salad mix, sliced strawberries and blackberries. Add some Feta cheese for garnish (as much or little as you like).
*Candied pecans:
In a saucepan over medium heat, mix together chopped pecans and sugar.
Stir constantly for a few minutes until the sugar has caramelized and all of the pecans are coated.
Spread the coated pecans on a piece of foil or wax paper to cool.
After they are completely cool, break into pieces if they get clumped together. Add cooled pecans to salad and toss.
