Preparation

Step 1

Bleu Cheese Vinaigrette: Combine all ingredients except vinegar and lemon juice in a small pan over medium heat. Heat until mixture begins to bubble, remove from heat. Cool mixture. Combine cooled mixture with rice vinegar and lemon juice in a blender. Blend on high speed for 1 minute, cover and chill.

Cinnamon Pecans: Combine sugar, water, butter, cinnamon and salt in a small pan over medium heat. When mixture first reaches a boil, add pecans. Stir constantly until liquid evaporates and sugar begins to crystallize on the nuts. Don't allow the nuts to smoke or burn. Pour sugar crystallized pecans out onto a plate to cool.

Assemble The Salad: Combine lettuce, green onion, red cabbage, shredded carrot, pecans and pasta in a large bowl. Toss with 3/4 cup of the dressing. Top with 2 tablespoons crumbled bleu cheese on each serving.
