Festive Brussel Sprout Slaw

Serves 8
Brussel sprouts recipes have come a long way since I was a little kid and a very picky eater! No more bland and mushy Brussel Sprouts. This slaw is a perfect addition to a festive table when you need a little something crisp and bright.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup Champagne, Sherry, or Apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, thinly shaved
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1  pear, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup pomegranate arils (the ruby red seeds)
