Equipment

Ingredients
Candied Pecans:
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch kosher salt
Simple Garlic Dressing:
- 1 clove garlic grated
- 1 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
Brussels Sprouts Salad:
- 1 pound brussels sprouts outer layers removed
- 1 small honeycrisp apple thinly sliced
- 1 medium shallot thinly sliced
- 2 ounces Pecorino Romano shaved
- 2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
- ⅓ cup candied pecans (recipe above)
- ½ cup pomegranate seeds
Instructions
To Make Candied the Pecans:
- To a small skillet, set over medium-low heat, add the pecans, maple syrup, black pepper, and salt. Stir until they’re evenly coated and cook until the syrup bubbles and reduces, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer. Allow to cool completely, about 5 minutes. This recipe only uses 1/3 cup of pecans so be sure to save the rest for later use!
To Make the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the grated garlic, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, olive oil, salt, and a few rounds of freshly ground pepper.
To Assemble Brussels Sprouts:
- Using a mandolin, slice the brussels sprouts thinly. If you don't have a mandolin, feel free to slice them as thin as possible or use the slicer on the side of a box cheese grater. Add them to a large serving bowl.
- Top the brussels with the sliced apples, shallots, Pecorino, Italian parsley, candied pecans and pomegranate. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until combined.
