Candied Pecans

Balsamic Vinaigrette

Method

Preparing the Brussels Sprout Salad

  1. 1

    Prepare Brussels Sprouts

    Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any damaged outer leaves. Slice each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise.

  2. 2

    Roast Brussels Sprouts

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until crispy and golden brown, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

Making Candied Pecans

  1. 3

    Prepare Candied Pecans

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the pecans to the saucepan and stir until they are evenly coated.

  2. 4

    Candy the Pecans

    Continue to cook the pecan mixture, stirring frequently until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture becomes bubbly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and spread the pecans onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool.

Making Balsamic Vinaigrette

  1. 5

    Mix Vinaigrette Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the roasted Brussels sprouts, crumbled feta cheese, and candied pecans.

  2. 7

    Add Vinaigrette

    Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve the salad immediately while the Brussels sprouts are warm, or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving.
