For enhanced flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of orange zest to the cranberry mixture. To toast the pecans, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Alternatively, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant. If you prefer a less sweet salad, reduce the amount of sugar to 3/4 cup. The salad can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
