Ingredients

Spiced Pecans
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
2 tbsp packed brown sugar
1 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp garlic powder

Vinaigrette Dressing
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp sugar

1/4 cup olive oil

2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cubed
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
3 cups thinly sliced Napa cabbage
3 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
1 cup dried cranberries or dried cherries
1 medium mango, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Directions

1) Preheat oven to 350°F.

2) For the pecans, in a large bowl, combine pecans, brown sugar, butter, Worcestershire, salt and garlic powder. Mix well. Spread mixture on a baking sheet and bake 12-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until lightly toasted. Set aside and cool completely.

3) For the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk rice vinegar, cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar and salt. Gradually whisk in olive oil.
