For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling the apple slices lightly before dicing. Feel free to substitute walnuts or almonds for pecans, depending on your preference. Serve this salad on a bed of crisp lettuce, in a croissant, or as a delightful filling for lettuce wraps. The salad can be prepared a day in advance, allowing the flavors to deepen even further.
