Alright guys, it’s officially Thanksgiving crunch time.  Yesterday I went to the grocery store and there was a mob of people surrounding the turkey coolers.  Turkeys, it is truly your time to shine…everyone wants you.  Except apparently my friends who I will be celebrating Turkey Day with (*insert eye roll here*).  That’s okay though, I’m sure that I will be perfectly content with lobster and duck and whatever else we cook together 🙂  I always like to bring a salad to the table to break up the richness and heaviness of all the other Thanksgiving dishes, so here’s an idea for you (and me!)…Kale and Brussels Sprouts Salad with Maple Dijon Vinaigrette.

I didn’t notice until after I photographed and cleaned up this monster salad that you really have to hunt to see the brussels sprouts!  I promise you they are there, I apparently decided to cover them all up with apples and other goodies though.  Oops!  It doesn’t help that they kind of blend in with the green of the kale.  Such is life.

Anywho, even if this isn’t going to be your salad of choice for the big day, please please please try out the candied pecans.  Seriously, they are so good and really easy to make.  They’re a perfect crunchy and sweet topping for any fall salad!

Oh hey look, flowers! I am all over the place with these photos.  Sorry guys, thanks for putting up with me 😉
