Maple-Dijon Brussels Leaf Salad

This is my go-to unexpected side for Thanksgiving and other pot-lucks. Aside from being gorgeous, it holds up well when made ahead, tastes great at room temp, and appeals to lots of eaters because it's vegan, paleo, gluten-free, and low-carb friendly. The only thing that takes time is deconstructing the Brussels sprouts. The salad keeps in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed

  • ¼ cup maple syrup

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard

  • 4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

  • 1 cup sweetened dried cranberries

  • 1 cup cinnamon-roasted almonds

Directions

  1. Cut cores out of Brussels sprouts using a paring knife. Peel layers apart to separate individual leaves; place leaves in a large bowl.

  2. Whisk maple syrup, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar together in a small bowl. Drizzle over Brussels sprout leaves; add cranberries and toss to coat. Add almonds and toss again before serving.

Cook's Notes:

Save Brussels sprouts cores to roast or add to a hash.

Use smooth or coarse Dijon mustard or a mix of the two.

Substitute cinnamon-roasted pecans for the almonds if desired.
