FAQs:
Yes! I recommend making this a few hours before you plan to serve it if fixing it as a side dish. It soaks into the dressing and adds a lot of flavor!
You can to save time! I do prefer shredding them myself to remove the big pieces of brussels sprouts.
This will last good in the fridge for up to 2-3 days! I do recommend serving it fresh after the dressing soaks in for best taste and look.
Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Mix together 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1 tbsp coconut sugar in small bowl. Add to bowl with 1/2 cup pecan pieces and mix to completely coat. Place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the oven for 10 minutes. Be sure to flip the pecans half way through and once you remove from the oven, continually stir to prevent the pecans from sticking. Transfer to the freezer for 5-10 minutes to cool faster.

Notes
If serving this, I would leave off the pomegranate seeds until last and let the dressing soak into the brussels and mixture for an hour + until you serve it. Then add the pomegranate seeds in. That way the color doesn't soak into the rest of the salad!
until next time...
I want to make the Brussel Sprouts salad, however there are no measurements for the dressing ingredients.
