Although the original of this recipe came from the Kraft Foods Holiday 2007 food & family magazine, it has been tweaked quite a bit to satisfy our own preferences.

Ingredients

1/2 cup pecan halves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
6 cups mixed salad greens, torn
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup Italian dressing, lite, zesty
3/4 cup colby-monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 (15 ounce) can pears, sliced, lite, drained

Instructions

Put pecans, cinnamon & sugar in a zip-lock bag. Seal the bag & toss to coat.
Spread nuts evenly onto the bottom of a microwaveable pie plate & microwave on HIGH up to 1 1/2 minutes or until toasted, stirring every 30 seconds.
In a large bowl, carefully mix greens with pears, cheese & cranberries.
Just before serving add pecans & dressing, then mix carefully.
