Notes

If you want to make this salad vegan, simply substitute maple syrup for the honey and skip the cheese or use vegan feta. You can avocados to add some creaminess, so you really won’t miss it.
 
You can replace the pecans with a different nut or seed. Toasted walnuts, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, would be great here as well.
