Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Hazelnuts, Cheddar, and Apples

Leigh Belanger and Rebecca Haley-Park
This salad tastes even better the next day—store it dressed sans cheese and nuts (sprinkle those on top just before serving). If you don’t have a mandoline to shred the sprouts, a very sharp chef’s knife does the trick.
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Whisk apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and honey together in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in olive oil until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
