For enhanced flavor, toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until fragrant.
Feel free to substitute other nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, for the pecans.

Leftovers can be enjoyed cold as a salad. Add a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette for extra zest.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to your liking.
