For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of balsamic vinegar to the dressing. To toast the pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Watch them closely to prevent burning! This salad is best when allowed to sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. It can also be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
