This sweet and tangy brussels sprouts salad makes a perfect side dish for a winter supper and was a great way to use up the bag of brussels sprouts lingering in the vegetable bin.

Author: Martha McKinnon | Simple Nourished Living
Ingredients
- 1-½ pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain Dijon mustard (regular Dijon will work)
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (affiliate link)
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup chopped toasted pecans
Instructions
Place the brussels sprouts in a steamer basket (affiliate link) set over a large pot of boiling water. Cover and steam, until crisp-tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes.
Place the brussels sprouts in a large bowl of ice water to stop cooking so they maintain their pretty green color. Drain and pat them dry with paper towels or a clean dish towel.
In a small bowl (affiliate link) whisk together the maple syrup, mustard, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper until well blended.
Using a sharp knife or mandoline (affiliate link), thinly slice the brussels sprouts lengthwise.
Place the slices in a large bowl and drizzle with the dressing and gently toss to coat them.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until chilled, or for up to 2 hours.
Just before serving, sprinkle with the toasted pecans.
