Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad
Shaving Brussels sprouts very thinly with a food processor attachment or a hand-held mandoline is the secret to enjoying their very bold flavor. This is a particularly festive recipe with the sweetness of balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, apple, and dried cranberries, and the tang of Dijon mustard, the umami of cheese, and the crunchiness of hazelnuts.
