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.

Easy to make and absolutely delicious! I used a mix of red and green apples, and added some dried cranberries for extra sweetness. The dressing was perfect - not too sweet, not too tangy.
