Caramelized Brussels Sprout Caesar with Maple Pecans and Crisp Apple

This warm salad trades romaine for deeply roasted Brussels sprouts, giving Caesar a cozy fall makeover without losing its garlicky, lemony backbone. Maple-glazed pecans replace croutons for toasty crunch, and thin Honeycrisp apple slices keep each bite bright. A quick pantry dressing with anchovy, mayo, and Parmesan comes together while the oven does the work.
