Instructions
In a cast iron skillet on medium heat, toss together pecans, pumpkin seeds, olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt, stirring often to prevent burning. Cook for about 10 mins until nuts are lightly toasted and sticking together. Once cooked, lay on a parchment paper and flatten to cool.
Using the same pan on medium heat, combine 1tbsp of the oil, shallot and sage and cook until sage is crisp. Once cooked, combine cooked mixture along with remaining vinaigrette ingredients to a small food processor or blender to combine.
Assemble salad, combining GoodLeaf True North Blend with remaining ingredients, along with cooked nut mixture and vinaigrette.
Serve and enjoy!
