For the candied pecans, melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Toss in the pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir to combine and coat until sugar begins to caramelize (3-4 minutes). Spread candied pecans on a wax paper or parchment lined baking sheet to cool.
Combine the ingredients for the dressing and place in fridge until ready to use.
