This salad is a great way to use up leftover apples and pecans. It's also a great make-ahead dish, which is always a plus.

I thought the salad was a bit bland. I added some extra spices to the dressing and it was much better.

It was okay but not amazing. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a different type of cheese.
