This crunchy super-flavorful brussel sprout salad features beautifully sweet pear slices, toasted pecans, and shaved parmesan, all coated in a zingy turmeric dressing infused with fresh thyme.
Chop your brussel sprouts into very thin slices. The thinner the better. (Be careful and use your knuckles as a guard when you cut).
Cut away from the core of your pears. Cut the pears into thin slices.
For the Dressing
Add all of the ingredients into a small jar. Make sure to crush up the thyme to get the flavor out. Close up the jar and give it a shake or a good mix.
For the Assembly
Toss all of your salad ingredients together in a large bowl.
Dress the salad and give it a toss.
Shave in as much parmesan as you’d like.

Notes
To do this salad ahead make the dressing, prep the brussel sprouts, toast the pecans, add shaved parmesan to a plastic bag. Slice the pears before and toss together before serving.
Dried cranberries will add a burst of sweetness and pop of color!
I used apple cider vinegar but white wine or champagne vinegars will work as well.
Crumbled goat cheese or pecorino Romano are nice substitutions for parmesan.
