1. Prepare vinaigrette dressing by placing dressing ingredients in a blender and blending until smooth.

Prepare cinnamon pecans by tossing nuts in a skillet over medium heat.  Add sugar and continue to stir pecans until the sugar is melted.  Sprinkle cinnamon over the pecans and remove from heat.  Immediately place pecans on a piece of foil to cool; pecans will burn if they are left in the skillet.
