Report
Hearty shaved Brussels sprout salad with a warm roasted squash medley, toasted walnuts, and sweet dried cranberries.

Ingredients
- 20 Brussel sprouts medium size (about lb brussels sprouts)
- 1 small butternut squash peeled and cubed
- 2 cups walnuts toasted
- 2 cups dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 2 teaspoon Chinese 5 spice
- ½ teaspoon salt
Salad dressing
- ½ cup olive oil extra virgin
- ¼ cup white vinegar
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prep the sprouts: Wash the brussels sprouts and pat them dry. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, shave them into thin slices.
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or grease them lightly.
- Roast Squash: On one sheet, spread the butternut squash in a single layer. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with Chinese 5 spice and salt, and toss to coat. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender.
- Roast Walnuts: When the squash is almost finished roasting, spread the walnuts in a single layer oj the second baking sheet. Roast for 5-7 minutes or until lightly toasted
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, white vinegar, honey, mustard, garlic powder, and salt until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the shaved brussels sprouts, roasted squash, toasted walnuts, and dried cranberries. Pour the dressing over the top and toss gently to coat.
- Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and serve immediately, or let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- Storage: Store the assembled salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep the components separate and assemble just before serving.
- Tip: Letting the salad rest after tossing with the dressing helps soften the sprouts slightly and enhances the overall flavor.
