For best results, use fresh, firm cranberries. Avoid using cranberries that are soft or bruised. Toasting the pecans before adding them to the salad enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. If you prefer a less sweet salad, you can reduce the amount of sugar slightly. Taste and adjust as needed. This salad can be made up to 2 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For a festive touch, garnish the salad with a few extra pecans or a sprig of fresh mint before serving.
