Special Precautions and Tips:

• To make this salad ahead of time, combine all the ingredients except for the pecans. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Add the pecans just before serving to prevent them from getting soggy.
• If you don't have Granny Smith apples, you can use another tart apple variety, such as Honeycrisp or Pink Lady.
• For a sweeter salad, add an extra 1/4 cup of cranberries.
