Bleu Cheese Pecan Chopped Salad (Outback Steakhouse Copycat)

Step 1

Combine the pecans, ground cinnamon, melted butter and light brown sugar in a bowl. Toss to coat well; then place on a baking sheet and cook in a preheated 375 degree F oven for about 3-5 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. (These can be kept in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days.)

Step 2

Whisk all ingredients together until smooth and keep stored in the refrigerator in an air tight container for up to 1 week.

Step 3

Add the lettuce, cabbage, carrots and scallions to a large mixing bowl; then add the prepared pecans and dressing. Mix well, top with the crumbled Bleu Cheese and serve immediately.
