2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon tahini
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
⅓ cup neutral oil, such as canola or avocado oil
5 cups brussels sprouts, thinly sliced
½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground, plus more to taste
2 cups quinoa, cooked, warm
½ cup craisins
½ cup toasted pecans, roughly chopped
½ cup parmesan cheese, shaved, plus more for serving

Steps:

Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustard, maple syrup, tahini, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Starting with a few drops and steadily increasing the stream, slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking continuously, until the dressing is thickened and emulsified.
Make the salad: Add the shaved Brussels sprouts to a large bowl and season with the salt and pepper. Add 3 tablespoons of the dressing to the Brussels and toss well to coat.
Add the warm quinoa, craisins, toasted pecans, shaved Parmesan, and 2 additional tablespoons of dressing to the brussels and toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper
Top the salad with more shaved Parmesan and serve with the remaining dressing alongside.
Enjoy!
