For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the mayonnaise. Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until fragrant, to enhance their nutty flavor. If you prefer a tangier salad, substitute lemon juice for lime juice. This salad can be served on croissants, lettuce wraps, or with crackers for a delightful appetizer.
