- Feel free to sub with gorgonzola, roquefort, goat, or feta cheeses.
- To keep your apple pecan salad fresh and crisp, wait to chop and add the apples until you're ready to serve. If you'd like to chop them an hour or two in advance, toss them in lemon juice first. This will prevent them from browning and maintain their crunch.
- Feel free to add grilled chicken or quick shrimp recipe to make it a complete meal. The salad is also a great side dish for your favorite protein.
