Directions:
Pecans can be made days ahead:
Preheat oven to 375.
Lightly oil 2 baking sheets. In a small bowl, combine the pecans and maple syrup and stir thoroughly to combine.
Spread in a single layer on 1 of the baking sheets. Roast in a preheated oven, stirring once, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from oven and immediately scrape the pecans onto the other prepared baking sheet or they will be hopelessly stuck. Let cool.

Assemble the salad.
