Author Notes
This is one of my all-time favorites from my blog. So much so that I even used the image as part of my site's header! It's elegantly simple, but the flavors & textures are complex enough to keep things interesting. My favorite addition to this is a few crumbles of goat cheese on top, which rounds things off beautifully with just the right amount of creaminess.

Ingredients
- Salad
-
1-2 pounds
Brussels sprouts
-
1/2 cup
dried cranberries
-
1/3 cup
chopped almonds
-
1 tablespoon
olive oil
-
1-2
cloves of garlic, finely chopped
-
Salt & pepper to taste
-
1-2 ounces
crumbled goat cheese (optional)
- Dressing
-
2 tablespoons
olive oil
-
1 1/2 tablespoons
white wine vinegar
-
1 tablespoon
honey
-
1 tablespoon
Dijon mustard
-
1/4 teaspoon
granulated garlic
-
Pinch of salt
-
Dash of freshly ground black pepper
Directions
-
Prepare the dressing by combining all dressing ingredients in a bowl and whisking together vigorously until completely combined. Set aside.
-
Rinse the Brussels sprouts, trim off the ends and remove any soiled or wilted leaves, then cut each sprout into quarters (if they’re really small, halves will also be okay).
-
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet and add the minced garlic, cooking until just slightly fragrant. Add the Brussels sprouts and stir fry over medium high heat for about 4-5 minutes or until slightly tender, seasoning with salt & pepper about halfway through. Remove from heat.
-
In a large bowl, assemble the salad by tossing together the sprouts, cranberries, chopped almonds and the dressing. Let the salad sit for a few minutes before serving.
-
Garnish with extra chopped almonds and plenty of freshly ground pepper, and enjoy!
