Prepare the Bourbon-Soaked Pecans: In a small bowl, combine the pecans, bourbon, and maple syrup. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes, or up to a few hours, stirring occasionally.
Toast the Pecans: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the soaked pecans on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly toasted and fragrant. Let them cool completely.
Make the Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
Assemble the Salad: Gently wash and dry the Bibb lettuce leaves. Arrange them in a salad bowl or on individual plates.
Dress and Serve: Drizzle the vinaigrette over the lettuce. Sprinkle the bourbon-soaked pecans on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
