1 c pecan halves – toasted
1 large navel orange, peeled, seeded and chopped OR 2 tins of mandarin orange segments, drained
1/4 c vinegar
1/2 c sugar
3/4 c vegetable oil
1 tsp salt (or slightly more)
1/2 c – 3/4 c chopped red onion

Place lettuce and oranges in large salad bowl and keep chilled till ready to serve.
In blender add vinegar, sugar, oil, salt, onion, mustard, and water. Blend till smooth.
