Preparation
In a frying pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add brown sugar and stir until it’s dissolved. Add pecans and toss until they are evenly coated. Pour nuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow them to cool completely.

In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, salt and pepper. Dress the salad just before serving.
Serve immediately.
