Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Make caramelized pecans (see directions below), cook bacon and drain and crumble, and prepare vegetables.
  2. Squeeze juice of half a lemon onto avocado pieces, sprinkle them with garlic salt, and stir gently to coat.
  3. Squeeze remaining lemon juice onto crab.
  4. Place salad greens in a large bowl.
  5. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss gently.
  6. Arrange toppings in triangle or pie-wedge shaped areas on top of salad in the following order clockwise: crab (at “12 o’clock”), avocado, bacon, carrot, gorgonzola, pecans (1 to 1 1/2 cup), tomato.
  7. Serve from the middle outward, grabbing lettuce from underneath and taking bits from the various toppings.
  8. Pass ranch dressing.
  9. Enjoy!
  10. Caramelized Pecans: Place pecans and sugar in large metal skillet.
  11. Sprinkle with salt, cayenne and garlic powder.
  12. Cook on medium-low, stirring constantly, until sugar begins to melt and stick to the bottom of the pan, about 4-6 minutes.
  13. Continue stirring one minute, then lower heat to low and continue stirring constantly until sugar liquefies and the pecans are fully coated, about 3-5 more minutes.
  14. Remove immediately from heat and spread to cool on foil sprayed with cooking spray.
  15. When cool, separate gently.
  16. Note: This makes a bit more than you’ll need for the salad to provide for the “munch” factor!
