Instructions
Shred the Brussels sprouts with the shred blade in a food processor, or use a mandoline slicer.
Transfer the shredded sprouts to a large mixing bowl and use your hands to fluff and separate the shreds. Set aside.
In a saucepan or skillet over medium-high heat, whisk to combine the shallot, garlic, honey, preserved lemon paste and vinegar. When mixture begins to boil, whisk in the olive oil and black pepper. Whisk vigorously to emulsify the oil.
When the dressing is fully emulsified and hot, pour it over the shredded Brussels sprouts and mix with kitchen tongs to coat the shredded sprouts in dressing.
Add the toasted pecans and dried cranberries to the salad and mix to combine.
Then add the shopped fresh herbs, mix once more to combine.
