Vinaigrette

1 tbsp maple syrup

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 tbsp soy sauce

One clove, garlic, crushed

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tsp pepper

    ½ cup olive oil

*To caramelize pecans, spread pecans on baking sheet and roast in a 350°F oven until just starting to turn brown. Remove and toss with enough melted butter to lightly coat.
