Frosted Pecans

Frosted Pecans
These are simple, addictive (you've been warned), add a sweet crunch to any salad, and they make great gifts (and people may beg for them - I did, and that's how I got this recipe from some ladies from my church in Colorado). 

Here's a link to the Northwestern Salad that these go so well on


Frosted Pecans
2 egg white
2 c. sugar
2 tsp. cold water
2 tsp. salt
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
2 lb. pecans

Beat water and egg white until fluffy.
Mix pecans in and toss to coat.
In a separate bowl combine sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add to pecan mixture. Toss until pecans are coated. Spread on baking sheet and bake at 225* for 1 hour moving occasionally.
Cool prior to using in salad.

These may be stored in the freezer as well for future use.

Northwestern Salad with Frosted Pecans



One of my friends used to make this salad - I think it is my all time favorite. I love the simplicity, the twists of flavor, and especially the frosted pecans.

Spinach - cleaned and washed, torn into bite sized pieces
1-2 c. frosted pecans
1-2 granny smith apples chopped
1/2 c. chopped red onion
Feta cheese
Girrard's Champagne or Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing

Toss all ingredients lightly and immediately serve.
