Additional Notes/Tips

  1. Want more sweetness? Add a touch more maple syrup or a sprinkle of brown sugar.
  2. For extra crunch, try swapping pecans for walnuts or adding some pumpkin seeds.
  3. If you're in a rush, toast the nuts ahead of time or use store-bought toasted nuts.
  4. This salad works beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or Greek yogurt for a dessert twist.
  5. Let the salad sit for a bit after mixing to let the flavors meld together perfectly.
  6. For a festive touch, garnish with a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg.
  7. This salad keeps well in the fridge for a day, but it’s best enjoyed fresh!
