Notes

If you don't have access to a Trader Joe's for this Orange Muscat Champagne Vinaigrette you can combine white vinegar, freshly squeezed orange juice, olive oil + a little balsamic vinegar, dash of salt and strawberries in the blender for a similar flavor.
Honey Toasted Pecans can be found at Sprouts.
