Chipotle Chile Candied Pecan, Dried Cranberry, and Crumbled Blue Cheese Salad

If you can manage to save a handful of these awesome Chipotle Chile Candied Pecans, this is the perfect way to use them. This salad has everything that I love, all in one place! Crisp apples or pears, creamy blue cheese, tangy aged balsamic, sweet dried cranberries and a generous sprinkle of these highly addictive candied pecans. I absolutely love this salad, and if I hadn’t stress-eaten snacked on the rest of the batch of pecans already, I would have had this for lunch all week!
