- 1 medium Apple (sliced thinly)
- 1 medium Avocado (diced)
- 1/3 cup Red onions (sliced thinly)
- 1/3 cup Goat cheese (crumbled)
- 1/3 cup Pomegranate seeds (optional)
- 1/3 cup Pecans
Dressing Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium Persimmon (peeled)
- 1 tbsp Wholesome Yum Zero Sugar Cinnamon Honey
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 tsp Sea salt (to taste)

Instructions
- Combine salad ingredients: In a large bowl or platter, mix together the shredded Brussels sprouts, persimmon wedges, sliced apple, diced avocado, sliced red onions, crumbled goat cheese, pomegranate seeds, and pecans, ensuring even distribution.
- Prepare the dressing: In a small blender or food processor, add the extra virgin olive oil, peeled persimmon, zero sugar cinnamon honey, apple cider vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or pepper if needed.

Notes
- You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds for a different nutty crunch.
- For a vegan version, replace goat cheese with vegan cheese or omit it entirely.
- Make sure to shred the Brussels sprouts finely for the best texture and easy mixing.
- If pomegranate seeds are unavailable, dried cranberries can be a sweet alternative.
- Add dressing just before serving to keep the salad fresh and prevent sogginess.
