For a more intense raspberry flavor, consider macerating the grapes in a small amount of raspberry liqueur or juice for about 15 minutes before adding them to the salad.
Toasting the pecans enhances their nutty flavor. Spread them on a baking sheet and toast in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant, watching carefully to prevent burning.
If you prefer a milder flavor, substitute the red leaf lettuce with butter lettuce or mixed greens.
For a vegetarian option, ensure the goat cheese is made with vegetable rennet.
This salad can be easily customized with other fruits, such as apples, pears, or dried cranberries.
