Author Notes
Thinly sliced kale and Brussels sprouts that are tossed with a lemon-dijon vinaigrette, and topped with citrus, pomegranate and these highly addictive candied pecan-pumpkin seed clusters. This salad can be prepped out in advance, just simply wait to add the dressing before serving. If citrus and pomegranates are not your thing, then you can substitute with apples or pears. As well, adding blue cheese or parmesan is equally delicious. —Ashley Marti
