Wash and core the apples, cut them into half-moons, place in a bowl of salted water (1 teaspoon for every 2 cups of water).
Wash your salad greens and either pat dry or spin in a salad spinner to remove the excess water.

Arrange in a salad bowl, scatter the reserved pecans on top to garnish and serve immediately.
