Roasted Brussel Sprout Salad



Roasted Brussel Sprout Salad

Serves 4 small salads.  Chris' recipe.  The soft yellow

color in the mustard dressing is beautiful against the green/red /light

nuts in the salad.  Very festive presentation.

 

Ingredients:

½ c
Dried cranberries roughly chopped.  Option dried cherries or other dried fruits.
½ c.
Smoked almonds (I used maple-glazed walnuts)
½ c.
Shredded parmigiano reggiano or pecorino romano cheese
1 T
Whole grain mustard (Trader Joe’s is best)
1/3 c.
EVOO
1 T
Agave or honey
½
Lemon, juiced
1
Lemon zest
Pinch
Salt, pepper

 

Sprouts: Rinse and halve the sprouts.  Lightly coat in olive oil, salt, pepper.  Roast 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned on top.  Remove from oven and cool to room temperature or slightly above.

 

Dressing:  Combine or blend ¼- ½ cup  olive oil, mustard, agave, lemon zest and juice, salt, pepper.  For more spice, increase mustard.  Sweeter, increase sweetening. I didn’t care for the taste of agave in this recipe.  (I used 1/3 c oil and liked the results.) 


Serve:  Plate the Brussels sprouts.  Add chopped almonds and berries amount as desired. Add cheese, is using. (For vegan, it’s fine without it.)  Drizzle dressing over salad, amount as desired.
