Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad
This Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad is a fresh, crunchy fall salad bursting with sweet-savory flavor and packed with apples, pomegranates, candied pecans, feta, and crispy bacon.
Equipment
- small nonstick skillet
- small jar
- serving bowl
Ingredients
Candied Pecans
- ½ cup pecans roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch salt
Dressing
- ⅓ cup olive oil or avocado oil
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- pinch salt
Salad
- 12 oz Brussels sprouts thinly shredded
- 1 apple cored and diced
- ½ cup pomegranate seeds
- ½ cup cooked bacon chopped
- ⅓ cup feta cheese crumbled
Instructions
Preparation
- Combine the pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small nonstick skillet and set over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts and adheres to the pecans. Once coated, remove from the heat and spread out on a piece of parchment paper that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. (Don’t spread with your hands - they will burn! Use a spatula and don’t handle the nuts until they are fully cooled.)
- In a small jar, combine the oil, vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, and salt. Shake vigorously to combine and emulsify.
- Place the Brussels sprouts in a serving bowl. Add the apple, pomegranate seeds, bacon, feta, and cooled nuts.
- When ready to serve, pour the dressing over the top and toss to combine.
