INSTRUCTIONS
For the Salad
- 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.
