How to cook it

Prep timer

45:00
  1. Prep and chill the ingredients before assembling so the finished dish stays crisp and cold.
  2. 1. Whisk together olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make the vinaigrette.
  3. 2. Slice Brussels sprouts very thinly and place in a large bowl. Toss with half the vinaigrette and let sit 30 minutes until softened.
  4. 3. Add thinly sliced kale to the Brussels sprouts and let the mixture sit another 15 minutes.
  5. 4. Just before serving, add toasted chopped pecans, bite-sized pear pieces, and pomegranate seeds to the bowl.
  6. 5. Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, or add 1 tablespoon sweetener if the salad tastes too tart.
  7. 6. Transfer to your serving dish and enjoy immediately.
