Salad

First, wash the produce well.

Next, discard any damaged or withered outer layers of the Brussels sprouts. Proceed to slice them thinly, shave and arrange them on a platter.

Cut your shallot into thin rings and apple into bite-size pieces.

Pomegranate Vinaigrette Dressing

Now, place all of your pomegranate vinaigrette dressing ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth.

Then, dress your salad with the pomegranate vinaigrette dressing. Wrap your salad and place it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to allow all the flavors to marry together before serving.

Store any excess pomegranate vinaigrette dressing in an airtight container and refrigerate.

Finally, top your Brussels sprout salad with apples, pomegranate arils and candied pecans.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Mandoline for Uniform Thickness 🔪
Use a mandoline slicer to shave Brussels sprouts paper-thin and consistently, ensuring even texture throughout the salad and faster wilting from the acidic dressing.
Salt the Sprouts Early ⏱️
Toss shaved Brussels sprouts with a pinch of salt 5-10 minutes before dressing to begin breaking down their cell walls, making them more tender and receptive to flavor absorption.
Apple Cider Vinegar Emulsion 🌀
Whisk apple cider vinegar with mayonnaise and a touch of honey to create a stable, creamy dressing that clings better to the delicate sprouts than a simple vinaigrette.
Toast Walnuts for Depth 🥜
Lightly toast candied walnuts in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding to release their oils and deepen their flavor, preventing them from becoming soggy in the acidic salad.
Honeycrisp Apple Freshness 🍎
Slice apples immediately before serving and toss with a tiny bit of lemon juice to prevent oxidation while maintaining their crisp texture and bright appearance in the finished dish.
