Warm Brussels Sprouts-Spinach Salad - Danielle Walker

What I love about this Warm Brussels Sprouts-Spinach Salad is the combination of seasonal vegetables with crispy, salty bacon, the tartness of the cranberries, and the sweetness of the Maple Dijon Vinaigrette that ties it all together and balances it all out.

It’s a beautiful salad to bring to Thanksgiving dinners or any special event. The dressing is from Healthy in a Hurry, and it has become my all-time favorite dressing. I often make it in a double or triple batch. It has a timeless taste that works well in any season and seems to taste amazing on just about anything I’ve tried it on!

Ingredients for the Brussels Sprouts-Spinach Salad, such as apples, cauliflower, and Brussel sprouts are in various stages of being prepped for the salad

The Vinaigrette

This unique and flavorful vinaigrette is lightly sweetened with maple syrup that is mixed with the warm spices of coriander, cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, and honey dijon mustard. You can add this dressing to any salad to add a flavorful boost.

    How would you make this ahead? Prepare all of the bacon/brussel mixture and then assemble all right before serving?






  2. Jessica Robinson says:

    I can’t have mustard. Is there an alternate dressing you’d recommend?

  3. Sara says:

    What would you suggest to replace the spinach? Unable to eat raw spinach.
