Salad Dressing:
For salad dressing combine Blueberry Balsamic Vinegar and Meyer Lemon Extra Virgin Olive Oil together in a bowl and mix until fully combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Spicy Pecans:
Add everything to a cast iron or a saute pan and turn the on stove onto medium heat.
As soon as it starts to bubble or get hot, stir continuously.
In about 3 – 6 minutes they will start to get sticky.
When all moisture is gone, turn off the heat.
Spread onto parchment paper or a baking sheet. Don’t worry about them sticking together, when cooled you can separate them.
Bake for 8 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
Wait until they are completely cooled. They will harden and become crystallized.
For Salad:
Either mix everything together or layer them on a large platter starting with the arugula.
Dress individual salads to your liking.
