Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Apples and Spiced Pecans

A great fall salad that never disappoints.

• 12 oz Brussels sprouts, shaved (about 4 cups shaved)

• 1 large apple

• 1⁄2 c dried cranberries

• 1⁄4 c pomegranate seeds

• 1⁄3 cup Bourbon Spiced Pecans

• 2 oz crumbled feta cheese

• 1 recipe Maple Dijon Dressing (recipe follows)

Shave the Brussels sprouts using a mandolin, a food processor fitted with the slicing blade, or slice thinly by hand. You can also purchase shredded Brussels sprouts at many grocery stores.

Dice the apple.

Assemble the salad by mixing all ingredients in a serving bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Add about 1⁄2 cup of the dressing and toss.
