Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Creamy Maple Dressing

Serves 8

1½ pounds large Brussels sprouts, very thinly sliced (see Note)

½ cup pepitas

1½ cups pecan halves, toasted

1 large honeycrisp apple, cored, sliced

1½ cups dried cherries

¾ cup creamy maple dressing *see below

In a large bowl, toss the shaved Brussels sprouts with the pepitas, pecans, apple slices, cherries, pomegranate seeds, and dressing until coated.

Note: The best way to get super thin shredded Brussels sprouts is to use a mandoline or your food processor. If you don’t have one, just use a sharp knife and try to slice as thin as possible.

1/4 cup maple syrup
