Apple Pecan Salad image

Roasting develops the buttery richness of Fuji apples topped with chopped pecans. A honey-and-cider vinegar dressing provides just the right amount of sweetness. Serve the fruit over a pretty mix of oak leaf and butter lettuces.

I love this salad! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit. I usually add a bit of extra goat cheese because I love the way it pairs with the apples and pecans.
