If you go on an educational scavenger hunt to find out Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s favorite foods, you’ll notice one dish frequently appears – pecan pie, which was Dr. King’s favorite dessert.

The nut itself is quite a fitting food for Dr. King – it’s American grown and full of substance! Pecans are a good source of protein, manganese and the antioxidant Vitamin E. Hence why we recommend that this MLK Day, you remember one of the greatest leaders in history with your family with a few pecan-flavored favorites!

Breakfast: Wake up on your three-day weekend to Cinnamon Pecan Oatmeal.

Lunch: Go nuts with this Apple, Pear and Candied Pecan Salad. Want to add even more zing to this salad? Try out this salad dressing using Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt, but try swapping pistachios for pecans!

Dinner: Enjoy a Southern-style dinner with Buttermilk Pecan Chicken.

Snack: Spice up your afternoon with Asian-Spiced Pecans.
