Ingredients

Brussels Sprout Salad Dressing

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Brussel Sprout Salad

1 pound Brussels sprouts sliced thin (see note)
2 medium shallots sliced thin
1 cup walnuts toasted
1/2 cup Parmesan shredded
1 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

In a small jar combine the ingredients for the salad dressing. Shake to combine. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings if desired. If it is too acidic, add more honey. If it is too sweet, add more lemon juice. Adjust the salt according to taste. While this is plenty of dressing for the salad, but if you like you could double the recipe and reserve half for those who want more dressing at the end.
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, 3 tablespoons orange juice, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon honey, 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Add the shaved brussel sprouts and thinly sliced shallots to a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the top and let it marinade for 30 minutes.
1 pound Brussels sprouts, 2 medium shallots
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the walnuts on it and toast in the oven for 10 minutes.
1 cup walnuts
Toss the brussel sprouts with the toasted walnuts, Parmesan cheese, and dried cranberries. Serve with the extra salad dressing if desired.
1/2 cup Parmesan, 1 cup dried cranberries

Notes

A food processor fit with a grater blade makes turning your pound of brussels sprouts into shreds very easy. Another great alternative is a mandoline. If you don't have either, just slice them thin.
