Curry Mustard Dressing (on Spinach Salad)

Greetings to our patrons of the Circle Cafe in Victoria. I would like to share this recipe with you that was very popular at the Cafe. The salad is good too, but it's all about the dressing!
Spinach Salad with Curry Mustard Dressing
Fresh spinach leaves
Mandarin orange slices (canned is fine)
Carmelized pecans (carmelizing is optional)
Chicken breast slices (optional)
To Carmelize Pecans, spread pecans on baking tray and roast at 350 until just starting to turn brown. Remove from oven and toss with enough melted butter to coat lightly. Sprinkle a little sugar and salt on them and return to oven for a few minutes. Watch closely as they burn easily.

Curry Mustard Dressing
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tsp paprika
1 1/2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup honey
1 cup olive oil
Combine ingredients in blender. Blend until smooth.
Enjoy!
