Brussels Sprouts Salad with Maple Dressing
Brussels sprouts shine in this salad, along with a delicious cast of mix-ins! We're talking juicy honeycrisp apples, sweet dried cranberries, salty pepitas, crisp smoky bacon, and parmesan. Top it all off with a simple shake-it-up maple dressing!

Instructions
- Make the Dressing: Shake up all the dressing ingredients in a mason jar with the lid tightly screwed on.
- Make the Salad: Add the brussels sprouts to a large salad bowl. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl, and pour the dressing over the top of everything. Toss it all together well.
- Serve + Store: Enjoy immediately! Store leftovers, in an airtight container, in the fridge for 3-5 days.
- Make Ahead: I don't recommend making salads ahead or dressing them ahead of time. Make this & dress it just before you're ready to serve it!
