Notes
Make Ahead: Do not add the dressing until you are ready to serve it. You may also want to wait to slice and add the strawberries, so they do not get mushy. The rest of the salad can be assembled ahead and stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Candied Pecans: You can buy candied pecans, or you can make your own. To make them, set a small nonstick cooking pan over medium heat and add ¾ cup chopped pecans, 1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar and ½ tablespoon butter. Stir constantly until the sugar and butter melt together. Continue stirring as it caramelizes; 2–3 more minutes. Spread pecans in a single layer on a plate to cool.
