Toasting the pecans brings out their nutty flavor and adds a delightful crunch.
Ensure the crushed pineapple is well-drained to prevent a soggy salad.
For a smoother texture, you can pulse the cranberries in a food processor instead of grinding them.
If freezing, be sure to use a freezer-safe container.
Consider adding a touch of orange zest for a brighter, citrusy flavor.
