If you're using store bought roasted pecans then you can skip this step. Preheat the oven to 180 ℃ / 356℉. Spread the pecans on to a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes or until fragrant. Allow to cool before adding the whole nuts to the salad.
Add the salad dressing ingredients together, mix and set aside.
Wash and prep all the salad ingredients and add to a large bowl.
Mix the dressing again and add to the bowl. Gently toss using two large spoons or clean hands. Transfer to your serving dish and serve immediately.
