This is my favorite salad made by my mother-in-law. To toast pecans Take 1 cup pecans. Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 2. Lightly spritz baking sheet with cooking spray. 3. To toast pecans, put them on a baking sheet and toast them just until they become aromatic, about 5 minutes. 4. You have to watch them carefully as they are easily scorched.
