Directions:
Make the vinaigrette: Combine the sugar, dry mustard, salt and vinegars in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Whisk in the onion juice and Worcestershire sauce. Add the oil slowly, whisking continuously until blended.

To make the salad: Combine the greens, green onions, blue cheese, apple and pecans in a salad bowl. Add just enough vinaigrette to coat the greens. Toss until well combined.

To make the pecans: Beat the egg whites with the salt until foamy. Add the sugar, Worcestershire sauce, paprika and cayenne. Fold in the pecans and melted butter. Spread the pecans evenly on a baking sheet. Bake at 325º for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool. Store the pecans in an airtight container.
