For an extra layer of flavor, consider toasting the pecans lightly before adding them to the salad. This will enhance their nutty aroma and add a subtle depth. Feel free to experiment with different nuts, such as walnuts or macadamia nuts, to create your own unique twist on this classic recipe. If you prefer a less sweet salad, you can reduce the amount of marshmallows or use a sugar-free pudding mix.
