Kicking off the week with a dish that’s as nutritious as it is delicious, I found myself reaching for Brussels sprouts more often than not. There’s something about their versatility that keeps me coming back, especially when paired with the sweet depth of maple syrup and the crunch of pecans. This salad is my go-to for a quick, satisfying meal that doesn’t skimp on flavor.
