This is a terrific salad!   Everyone went back for seconds, and my father even had thirds!  I used arugula instead of bibb lettuce since that's what I had in the fridge.  For the pecans, I used a dry caramel technique from Sara Moulton, and added a little cayenne to the caramel also.  Everyone agreed that this is going to be 2010's "go-to" fall salad!

ICDOCEAN1, I got the caramel technique from the book "Sara Moulton Cooks at Home." Basically you cook sugar in a skillet, stirring just until it starts to melt, then leave it until it turns a deep caramel. Toss your nuts into the skillet, turn out onto parchment paper. That's it!

ICDOCEAN1 writes: Looks fabulous! I have pears ripening and I will keep this salad in mind. Normally, I am not too into seasonal salads, but the few that I have made have been good and such nice changes that I continue to look for recipes. Thanks for reminding me of this one.

I have made Ina's Chopped Cobb Salad and that is now one of our favorites and DH announced that he likes salad with fruit. Posted: 9:18 am on September 20th
