Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. For optimal flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, allowing the flavors to meld. (30+ minutes)
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.
