  1. 1 Preheat an oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2 Beat egg whites until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until medium peaks form.

Spread the mixture evenly on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. 3 Bake 10 minutes, then turn the pecan pieces. Bake another 10 minutes until toasted. Remove from oven and let cool about 15 minutes.
  4. 4 Mound two cups of salad greens on each plate. Sprinkle each serving with 1/4 cup Gorgonzola cheese, then drizzle with a teaspoon of hazelnut oil. Top each salad with a cup of toasted pecans.
