- Toast the pecans: To enhance their flavor, toast the pecans in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are aromatic and lightly browned. Be careful not to burn them.
- Use fresh ingredients: For the best taste, use fresh spinach, crisp apples, and high-quality olive oil. Fresh ingredients will make a noticeable difference in the salad's overall flavor.
- Customize the dressing: Feel free to adjust the dressing ingredients to your taste. If you prefer a sweeter dressing, add a little honey. For extra tanginess, increase the amount of lemon juice or vinegar.
- Prevent apple browning: To prevent the apple slices from browning, toss them in a little lemon juice immediately after cutting.
- Chill before serving: For a refreshing experience, chill the salad in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
