- ⅓ cup pecan halves
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar

For the vinaigrette
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp dijon mustard

Instructions
- 1
Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the pecan halves, sugar, and pinch of salt, stirring constantly until the sugar melts and coats the pecans, about 3–4 minutes — watch closely, as the sugar can burn quickly. Immediately transfer the pecans to a sheet of parchment paper and spread them apart to cool completely, about 5 minutes.

In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until combined. Drizzle in the olive oil in a thin, steady stream, whisking constantly until the dressing is emulsified and slightly thickened.
