BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD WITH CRANBERRIES & DIJON DRESSING

Steps:

• Whisk the Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until emulsified. Set aside.
• Toast the hazelnuts in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, tossing a few times, until golden brown spots start to form, 3 to 4 minutes. Immediately transfer to a cutting board to stop the cooking and roughly chop them.
• Use the shredder attachment on a food processor or a mandoline to shave the Brussels sprouts. Put the sprouts in a large bowl and add the hazelnuts, cranberries, 2 teaspoons salt and a bunch of grinds of black pepper. Drizzle the dressing over top (it will feel like a lot of dressing, but trust me, it needs it!) and toss until well combined.

SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice, orange juice and shallots. Let stand 5 minutes so the acidity in the juice can begin to break down the shallots. Whisk in the Dijon and honey until well combined. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Season aggressively with salt and add pepper.
• For the salad: Add the sprouts, apricots, hazelnuts and pecorino to the vinaigrette and toss to coat. The salad can be dressed 15 to 20 minutes in advance if you like more tender Brussels sprouts.

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Whisk the vegetable oil and olive oil in a small bowl. In a large bowl, whisk the honey, vinegar, lemon juice, lemon zest, mustard, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper.
• Slowly whisk the oil mixture into the vinegar mixture until combined. Refrigerate at least 1 hour; store in an airtight container up to 1 week.
• Make the salad: Toss the Brussels sprout leaves, dried blueberries and cranberries, almonds and 1/4 cup dressing in a large bowl. Pile the salad onto a plate. Top with the manchego and season with pepper. Serve with bagel chips, if desired.

ROASTED AND RAW BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD

Steps:

• Trim the sprouts, cutting a good 1/4-inch off the bottom. Pull off the large leaves (you should have about 2 cups of them); set aside. Shred the remaining sprouts thinly, using a food processor fitted with the slicing blade, or use a knife to halve them through the core, then thinly slice them. You should have 5 to 6 cups.
• Toss the shredded sprouts with the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and massage with your hands to tenderize them. Set aside.
• Finely mince half the shallot and mix with the sherry vinegar, mustard, honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. While stirring, slowly pour in 4 tablespoons oil, then drizzle the dressing onto the sprouts, mixing thoroughly. Toss in the cheese and place in a serving bowl. (Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours, if not serving right away.)
• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Thinly slice the other half of the shallot, and on a small baking sheet, combine the shallot with the reserved sprout leaves, almonds, remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss to coat, then roast, tossing once or twice until the sprouts begin to crisp and brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Place the hot ingredients on top of the salad (do not toss) and serve immediately, with more cracked pepper on top.
