For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh mint or basil. 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 don't have frozen juice concentrates, you can substitute with fresh juices, adjusting the sweetness to your taste. The fruit salad can be made ahead of time, but it's best to add the pecans just before serving to maintain their crunch. Other fruits can be added. Feel free to add blueberries, raspberries, mango etc. to the salad.
