This is so good, you’ll want to serve it on Thanksgiving as well.

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup walnuts or pecans
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • ¼ cup red or white onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 slices bacon, cooked, drained and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons brown mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Directions:

  1. In a small skillet, toast nuts over medium heat until they become slightly brown and fragrant. Set aside.
  2. Remove outer tough leaves and ends of Brussels sprouts. With a sharp knife, slice sprouts crosswise into thin slices.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine nuts, Brussels sprouts, cranberries, onion and bacon.
  4. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, whisk together mustard, oil and honey. Heat in the microwave for 10-20 seconds on high heat or until warm. Pour dressing over salad. Serve immediately.
