The perfect Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad for the holidays. This salad has just the right amount of crisp and crunch, it is full of flavors and topped with a creamy maple balsamic vinaigrette that could be used on any salad.
Add all vinaigrette ingredients to a mason jar, salad dressing container or container with a lid. Shake to combine and set aside. This can be made up to two weeks (!!) ahead of time, store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
For the salad
Remove any loose, broken or wilted leaves, cut off the ends and cut the brussels sprouts in half. Then using a sharp knife cut into shreds. Add the brussels to a large bowl.
Chop the apple and pear into bite size pieces and save a few sliced for on top. Add to the bowl with the shaved brussels sprouts.
Add dried cranberries, raw or toasted pecans, crumble queso fresco and top with the vinaigrette. Mix to combine and serve.
