Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon tahini
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
⅓ cup neutral oil, such as canola or avocado oil
5 cups brussels sprouts, thinly sliced
½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground, plus more to taste
2 cups quinoa, cooked, warm
½ cup craisins
½ cup toasted pecans, roughly chopped
½ cup parmesan cheese, shaved, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustard, maple syrup, tahini, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Starting with a few drops and steadily increasing the stream, slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking continuously, until the dressing is thickened and emulsified.
  • Make the salad: Add the shaved Brussels sprouts to a large bowl and season with the salt and pepper. Add 3 tablespoons of the dressing to the Brussels and toss well to coat.
  • Add the warm quinoa, craisins, toasted pecans, shaved Parmesan, and 2 additional tablespoons of dressing to the brussels and toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper
  • Top the salad with more shaved Parmesan and serve with the remaining dressing alongside.
  • Enjoy!

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts in this salad for sunflower seeds. It was just as delicious!

I'm not a big fan of Brussels sprouts, but I really enjoyed this salad. The quinoa and cranberries really balance out the flavor of the Brussels sprouts.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover Brussels sprouts. I always have a few leftover after making roasted Brussels sprouts, and this is a great way to use them up.

I found that the salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I added a bit of salt and pepper, and it was much better.
