Thinly sliced Brussels sprouts bathe in a sweet-tangy vinaigrette made with Champagne Pear Balsamic Vinegar and Rosemary Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The acidic vinaigrette helps to relax the sprouts and deliver big, bold flavor. Topped with roasted pecans, this salad is a make-ahead must for your holiday table. Make it early in the day – the longer it sits, the better it gets!
