Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup pecan halves
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon or 2 teaspoons dried tarragon
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 4 cups spring mix salad greens
  • 1 cup torn Bibb or Boston lettuce
  • 1/2 cup raspberry vinaigrette

Directions
