Fruited Green Salad

I love any salad that has greens and fruits. It's easy because the dressing is purchased (Brianna's poppyseed dressing). If you don't like one of the fruits, just add more of the others. Hope you like it!

Fruited Green Salad

8-10 cups mixed greens (you can use lettuce, spinach, spring mix, or whatever else you want)
3 stalks celery, sliced
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
1 pear, diced
1 apple, diced
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
1 1/2 cups diced and cooked bacon (hold out until ready to serve if you're making the salad ahead of time)
1 cup candied pecans (add just before serving)

Toss all ingredients in a bowl. Serve with Brianna's poppyseed dressing.

Candied Pecans: Lightly coat a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Place 2/3 cups brown sugar and 1/4 cup water in a skillet, stir until dissolved. Heat to boiling and reduce heat to a slow boil. Add 2 cups pecan halves (chopped if desired), stir constantly until sauce thickens and coats the pecans. Spread pecans on a cookie sheet, separate, and cool. (This makes more than you'll need for this salad, you can half the recipe if desired).
