Ingredients

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved vertically through the core
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1 firm apple such as Cortland or Honeycrisp, cut into thin slices
  • ¼ cup hazelnuts toasted and skins rubbed off, roughly chopped
  • 4 ounces aged pecorino cheese shaved into wide ribbons with a vegetable peeler
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Place Brussels sprouts flat side down and thinly slice. Alternatively, you could slice them on a mandoline. Toss in a salad bowl with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and set aside.
  • Combine the vinegar, honey, and Dijon together in a small bowl. Stir to combine, then slowly whisk in the olive oil. Taste and add salt as needed.
  • Toss the Brussels sprouts with about half of the dressing, then toss in the apples, nuts, and cheese. Add a few grinds of black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve with remaining dressing on the side.
