Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup Dijon mustard
6 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup olive oil
2 cups hazelnuts
1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts
2 cups dried cranberries

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.

  • Roast the pumpkin seeds: Toasting the pumpkin seeds adds a nice nutty flavor to the salad. You can roast them in a pan on the stovetop or in the oven.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance. This makes it a great option for a quick and easy weekday lunch or dinner.
