15 or so medium Brussels sprouts, raw, shaved with a mandoline
2 large crisp apples, thinly julienned with a mandoline
Candied pecans, chopped (make your own or buy from the store)
Bacon, cut into small cubes and cooked until crispy
Blue cheese crumbles
Lemon Pecan Vinaigrette
1/2 cup pecan halves
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp chopped shallot
3/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup water, to thin (or chicken stock for extra flavor)
Salt + pepper
Directions
Blend all the vinaigrette ingredients together until smooth. Add about 1/2 tsp salt, then taste and adjust. If it's not a WOW, it needs a bit more salt.
Combine all the salad items in a bowl after prepping, toss with the vinaigrette, and enjoy.
