Finely chop, along with 5 to 6 broccoli florets and cauliflower florets (as fine as or finer than KFCs slaw), in a food processor. Add to the bowl and toss. Dry-pan roast the pecans pieces for about 4 minutes over medium heat. Remove from heat. Let cool. Add to salad. Mince by hand the onion, the red bell pepper and the fresh cilantro leaves. Chop the canned chili peppers (if necessary). Add to salad and toss well. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Toss well. Add 3 tablespoons salad-dressing. Toss. Chill.
