Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil and season with salt. Toss to combine. Spread brussels sprouts on a large baking sheet. Roast in heated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside (check half-way through and give the brussels sprouts a quick stir so the other side has a chance to get some color.)
- While brussles sprouts are roasting, add the spinach, arugula, shallots, cranberries and almonds to large mixing bowl. Once ready, add the roasted brussels sprouts in.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients. Pour the vinaigrette on the salad (start with less if you're not sure you need it all.) Toss to combine. Then add in crumbled feta and give it another gentle toss.
- Transfer the salad to a large serving platter. Add another sprinkle of feta, almonds or cranberries if you like. Enjoy!

BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD WITH CRANBERRIES & DIJON DRESSING
Steps:
- Whisk the Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until emulsified. Set aside.
- Toast the hazelnuts in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, tossing a few times, until golden brown spots start to form, 3 to 4 minutes. Immediately transfer to a cutting board to stop the cooking and roughly chop them.
- Use the shredder attachment on a food processor or a mandoline to shave the Brussels sprouts. Put the sprouts in a large bowl and add the hazelnuts, cranberries, 2 teaspoons salt and a bunch of grinds of black pepper. Drizzle the dressing over top (it will feel like a lot of dressing, but trust me, it needs it!) and toss until well combined.

Steps:
- for dressing Heat the cranberries, apple cider vinegar, and honey in a pot over medium and bring to a boil. Cook for about 7-10 minutes until the cranberries burst and the mixture starts to thicken. Stir every minute or so. Let cool for about 10-15 minutes and then pour into your blender along with the cranberry juice, basil, oil, zest, mustard, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt + pepper. Blend starting on medium and working up to high until fully combined. Taste and adjust salt/pepper or sweetness if needed. Pour into a jar and cool in the fridge with the lid off. Once cooled, secure the lid and store for about 5 days. for salad Grate, slice, or chop the brussels sprouts. I used a food processor but a mandolin or knife will also do. *edited to add: When using a food processor, pulse about 1/2 pound at a time until shredded. It doesn't take very long at all. Empty into a bowl and pulse the other half. Top salad with the ingredients listed above a sprinkle of fresh cracked black pepper. Finish with the cranberry honey basil dressing. note: I do not recommend using 100% pure cranberry juice as it's extremely tart. Fruit juice sweetened cranberry juice will do the trick. You could even use one of the combination juices like cranberry/blueberry.
