- 1½ pounds Brussels sprouts, (shredded)
- 1 large tart-sweet red apple, (such as Honey Crisp, cored and chopped (no need to peel))
- 3 tablespoons minced shallots, (from 1 large shallot)
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¾ cup walnuts, (toasted if desired and coarsely chopped)
- ¾ cup thinly sliced and crumbled Parmigiano-Reggiano
Steps
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and set an oven rack in the middle position.
Place the walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake, checking frequently, until lightly toasted and fragrant, 6 to 10 minutes. Transfer immediately to a plate and let cool.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded Brussels sprouts, apples, shallots, olive oil, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper; toss well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours to allow the sprouts to soften and the flavors to marry.
When ready to serve, toss the walnuts and Parmigiano-Reggiano with the salad. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for 1 or 2 days but keep in mind that the flavors will dull the longer the salad sits; add a little more cider vinegar and vegetable oil to perk it up.
