Tricia's Delicious Summer Berry Salad

I found this great salad in my travels through recipe trolling on the web.  There is a salad dressing recipe provided on the web page that I have not tried.  Here is a link to the original recipe which includes a picture: http://thecafesucrefarine.com/2011/07/tricias-delicious-summer-berry-salad/

Large bowl of mixed salad greens or butter leaf lettuce if available
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn if large
1 cup strawberries, sliced
1 cup blueberries
1 cup raspberries
2 scallions (red or green) thinly sliced
1/2 cup blue cheese, chopped or crumbled
1/2-1 cup roasted pecans (recipe below)

Pecans
1 cup pecan halves
2 teaspoons sunflower oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  Combine nuts, oil and salt.  Bake for 35 minutes, stirring occasionally or until deep golden brown.  Check at around 20 minutes to make sure the nuts are not getting too dark.  Remove from oven and cool.

Assemble salad and use Annie's Raspberry Vinaigrette or make dressing from the original web site which sounds good.
