- Place the pecans into a dry skillet and toast the nuts over medium-low heat, stirring until they start to brown, this will take around 5 minutes. Transfer the pecans onto a plate to cool a little before chopping, then set aside.
- To make the vinaigrette, place the rice vinegar, brown sugar, poppy seeds, dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper into a small bowl and whisk to combine. Add the olive oil and whisk again until well blended.
