Step 1

Note: Make the candied pecans first, or make them ahead of time. They need time to dry out after cooking, so plan ahead. Place pecan (or walnut) halves (or large pieces) in a large, non stick skillet. Add brown sugar, cinnamon and a tiny bit (approx. 3-4 Tablespoons) of water to skillet. Stir to combine. Cook 8-10 minutes, stirring often, until liquid has dissipated, and pecans are covered in a sticky glaze. Transfer candied pecans to a piece of aluminum foil that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Separate pieces with 2 forks, and let dry (at least 30 minutes-preferably more).

Step 2

If making poppyseed dressing, mix salad dressing ingredients together until combined, and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 3

Place chopped romaine lettuce into individual salad bowls or onto salad plates. Arrange the oranges, strawberries, pineapple, and blueberries around the top of the salad (and cooked chicken pieces, if using). Sprinkle salad with feta cheese crumbles. Top each salad with some dried candied pecans. Drizzle poppyseed dressing or your favorite salad dressing over the top, and serve!
