Cranberry, Cheddar, and Brussels Sprouts Salad image

One of our local surf shops has a killer cafe that sells the most delicious vegetarian salads. This is inspired by a few of the ones I've eaten there. With the cranberries and Brussels sprouts, and a sweet ginger and Dijon dressing, it would be a nice salad option during the holidays. Perfect for using up any leftover grains, roasted or raw veggies, any type of cheese, dried fruits, or nuts. Serve it in one big bowl at the table, or divvy it up into meal-prep containers for weekday lunches.

I'm not a big fan of Brussels sprouts, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is so good that it really masks the bitterness of the Brussels sprouts.
