For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of orange liqueur or Grand Marnier to the cranberry mixture. Toasting the pecans enhances their nutty flavor and adds a pleasant crunch to the salad. Ensure both the pudding and cranberry mixtures are only partially set before layering to allow them to adhere properly. Garnish with fresh cranberries and a sprinkle of nutmeg before serving for an elegant presentation.
