For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of orange zest. Toasting the pecans enhances their nutty flavor and provides a satisfying crunch. Simply spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the vinaigrette. Feel free to substitute other nuts for pecans, such as walnuts or almonds. For a vegetarian option, ensure your Parmesan cheese is made with vegetarian rennet.
