For a tangier flavor, try adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a dash of Dijon mustard. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or almonds can be used as a substitute. Serve on a bed of crisp lettuce, in a sandwich, or with crackers for a delightful and refreshing meal. To make this salad ahead of time, prepare as directed but hold off on adding the apples until just before serving to prevent browning.
