For the best flavor, use a high-quality balsamic vinaigrette. If you prefer to make your own, whisk together 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 6 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon honey, salt, and pepper to taste. To toast the pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Alternatively, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. If preparing the salad ahead of time, wait to add the avocado and vinaigrette until just before serving to prevent browning and sogginess. Feel free to customize this salad with other ingredients you enjoy, such as crumbled goat cheese, grilled chicken, or toasted pumpkin seeds.
