For a more intense raspberry flavor, consider adding a handful of fresh raspberries to the salad. To toast the pecans, spread them 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. Feel free to substitute other berries, such as blueberries or strawberries, for the cranberries. For a vegetarian option, you can add some crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese.
