This was a super simple salad but so yummy!

For the dressing

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• pepper to taste
• 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard (optional--taste it first)

For the pecans

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup pecan halves
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

For the salad

• 10-13 ounces spinach
• 1 pineapple, chopped into bite-size pieces
• 6 ounces feta

Instructions

1. Combine all the dressing ingredients in a mason jar or tupperware. Shake vigorously and set aside.
2. 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.
3. In a large bowl add the spinach, pineapple, and feta. Toss to combine. Sprinkle the top with pecans and serve with the salad dressing (you might not use all of it).
