When I was making this green salad with grapes, I wanted to add candied pecans on top, but I didn’t want to take a trip to the store just for one salad topping. Luckily, I had a bag of raw pecans in my pantry and I figured it couldn’t be too hard to make candied pecans at home. It only took 5 minutes and these were the perfect compliment to the tangy goat cheese on my green salad with grapes. Of course, I found myself snacking on these after lunch, too. They’re a delicious sweet treat!
