Additional Notes/Tips

  1. Add a handful of granola or dried cranberries for extra texture and sweetness.
  2. If you prefer a vegan version, swap Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt and honey for maple syrup.
  3. You can toast the pecans for a richer, deeper flavor—just don’t burn them!
  4. For a creamier texture, increase the amount of yogurt or sour cream.
  5. Want to make it a main dish? Toss in some grilled chicken or tofu for extra protein.
  6. This salad pairs wonderfully with roasted squash or a warm autumn soup.
  7. Feel free to adjust the pumpkin spice to your liking—don’t be shy!
