Brussels Apple Salad (Print-Friendly Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Salad

01 - 50 g dried currants
02 - 90 g pine nuts
03 - 1 medium Honeycrisp apple, cored and finely chopped
04 - 110 g pecorino Romano cheese, chopped into 6 mm cubes

10 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup
11 - 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
12 - 3 tablespoons top-quality extra virgin olive oil

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - You can chill and keep this in the fridge until you want it, or dig in right away. It’s best when cold.
02 - Pour all the dressing over the Brussels mixture. Toss everything gently so it all gets coated.
03 - Use a tiny bowl and stir the olive oil with lemon juice, maple syrup, Dijon, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the dressing’s smooth and mixed.
04 - Mix together the shaved sprouts, diced cheese, chopped apple, pine nuts, and currants in a big bowl.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - A food processor with a slicer blade or a mandoline makes chopping Brussels sprouts super fast.
02 - Warm pine nuts on a dry pan for a few minutes to boost their nutty flavor.
