Ingredients

Candied Pecans:

1/2 cup pecans roughly chopped
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of salt

Dressing:

1/3 cup olive oil or avocado oil
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
pinch of salt

Salad:

12 oz Brussels sprouts thinly shredded
1 apple cored and diced
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
1/2 cup cooked chopped bacon
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

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.)
1/2 cup pecans, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, pinch of salt
In a small jar, combine the oil, vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, and salt. Shake vigorously to combine and emulsify.
1/3 cup olive oil or avocado oil, 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 2 teaspoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, pinch of salt
Place the Brussels sprouts in a serving bowl. Add the apple, pomegranate seeds, bacon, feta, and cooled nuts.
12 oz Brussels sprouts, 1 apple, 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds, 1/2 cup cooked, 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
When ready to serve, pour the dressing over the top and toss to combine.

Notes

To shave the Brussels sprouts, you can use a food processor, mandolin, or simply use a sharp knife and slice them thin.
