pecan strawberry salad

Pecan Strawberry Salad
serves 4

3 cups salad
1/3 cup shredded carrot
1/3 cup pecans
2 tbsp each sugar, chocolate, cinnamon
3 tbsp butter
4 or 5 strawberries
wine syrup

Sauté pecans with sugar, chocolate, cinnamon and butter. Mix with other ingredients and serve.
(If you're wondering what wine syrup is, it's this wonderful syrup made from rosemary and rosé wine, which has boiled off to leave a thick sugary liquid. I bought some in the Niagara wine region.)

Is paired perfectly with the soufflé from below:

Tonight's dinner (mom also made a meat dish, but I didn't eat that). I really want to try a frozen soufflé sometime soon. It's like a mousse poured into ramekins with built up edges, then frozen. You remove the edges, and it looks like a real soufflé. I must try it.
