This delicious shaved Brussels sprout salad features juicy pomegranate, sweet candied pecans, and a zesty lemon Dijon vinaigrette \u2013 all in American-friendly measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes it so fantastic? Well, it&#8217;s not only the best holiday salad ever, but it&#8217;s also a breeze to whip up, can be prepared in advance, and bursts with a medley of flavors and textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike large lettuce pieces, these shredded Brussels sprouts are easier to eat and perfect for meal prep. Plus, this Caesar salad doesn&#8217;t get soggy, so you can prepare a big batch at the start of the week and enjoy it throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transform this salad into a hearty meal by adding grilled chicken, salmon, or tofu for a veggie option. Shredding the sprouts is a snap \u2013 you can use a food processor, a knife, or a mandoline. Or, for even more convenience, check if your grocery store carries pre-shredded sprouts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our anchovy-free dressing (with anchovy-free Worcestershire) is delightful, but feel free to toss in anchovies if that&#8217;s your preference. And those homemade croutons? Absolutely delicious, but store-bought works too \u2013 just chop them into smaller pieces to complement the salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s dive into the recipe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--WPRM Recipe 31221-->\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe\">\n\t<h2 class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-name\">Shaved Brussels Sprout Caesar Salad<\/h2>\n\t\t<p class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-summary\">\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-equipment\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-ingredients\">\n\t\t<h4>**Salad:**<\/h4><ul><li>12 ounces shaved Brussels sprouts (stems removed)<\/li><li>1 \u00bd cups pomegranate arils<\/li><li>1 \u00bd cups honeycrisp apple (diced)<\/li><li>1 cup candied pecans (recipe below or toasted)<\/li><li>\u00be cup dried cranberries<\/li><li>\u00be cup shaved Parmesan<\/li><\/ul><h4>**Vinaigrette:**<\/h4><ul><li>3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil<\/li><li>1 \u00bd tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice<\/li><li>1 \u00bd tablespoons apple cider vinegar<\/li><li>2 tablespoons Dijon mustard<\/li><li>1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey<\/li><li>1 teaspoon salt<\/li><li>\u00bd teaspoon black pepper<\/li><\/ul><h4>**Candied Pecans:**<\/h4><ul><li>2 cups chopped pecans<\/li><li>\u2153 cup brown sugar<\/li><li>1 tsp cinnamon<\/li><li>\u00bc-\u00bd teaspoon cayenne<\/li><li>1 tsp vanilla extract<\/li><li>\u00be tsp salt<\/li><li>1 \u00bd tbsp water<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-instructions\">\n\t\t<h4>**Candied Pecans:**<\/h4><ol><li>Combine all ingredients (except pecans) in a saucepan over medium heat.<\/li><li>Add pecans and cook for 3-5 minutes until the glaze thickens and looks shiny.<\/li><li>Transfer to parchment paper to cool; use half in the salad and save the rest for snacking.<\/li><\/ol><h4>**Salad:**<\/h4><ol><li>Shred Brussels sprouts into 1\/16\u201d shreds using a food processor or knife.<\/li><li>Mix shredded sprouts, pomegranate, apple, pecans, cranberries, and Parmesan in a bowl.<\/li><li>Whisk together vinaigrette ingredients, pour over the salad, and toss.<\/li><li>Let the salad sit for 30 minutes to soften the sprouts.
